You gotta give them some privacy, lol. Loved your poem!
Love it, love it, love it, Ray! It's kinda scary-- dark humor, I should say. And what always excites me personally is alliteration! Love it. I lean heavily on alliteration for all my poetry. (I joke I learned my writing style as a kid from Stan Lee.) Fun! ⚡️🫤 Billl⚡️
Ssssexy sssslithering sssnake on sssnake action! Ssuperb, sssir!
I think that might be conssssidered public indecency. They probably should have gotten room, haha. Nice one, Ray. Nature poetry at its best!
That's pretty cool, that they recorded them mating. Great haiku, Raymond.
Ah, charming snakes. I’ve heard I have a gift for it. 😉
