The way he slithers is evil, make no mistake
He twists and turns
His green venom burns
That's the reason why i am lying here awake

Oh, those shadows on the walls, creatures lurking just out of sight. This was my childhood.
Oooh. Is the snake's name Insomnia?
I like this one! I enjoy the way you write- it seems true to your voice! Also, I too like snakes, they are so interesting and misunderstood!:) I love little poems about critters and creatures- I'll dig into the other creepy ones after at least one coffee! Lol!
