TODAY'S POEM (senryu *) 

 

wise lizards welcome

(unlike short-sighted leaders)

persons of colour.

Giorgio Coniglio

* learn more HERE about senryu, a lesser-known Japanese short poem that shares the physical characteristics of haiku (nominally 17 'on' / syllables in three non-rhyming lines), but deals in a satiric or humorous way with human foibles rather than with Nature. 

You can find many more pictures of these cute little tree-lizards by clicking to links for blogged photo-collages HERE (suburban neighbours), HERE (pole-dancer), and HERE (coloration), among others.

There are also other illustrated poems --  HERE (dewlaps), HERE ("going green"), HERE ("skink-busting") and HERE ("patrolling").

Or, you could review photos and illustrated herpetologic verses in a wider context by proceeding to 'Verses about Reptiles' (ophidiophobics, don't worry!  no snake-photos)' on the full-service blog 'Edifying Nonsense'.
