Sign at Cranbourne Botanical Gardens
In the undergrowth
Silent slithering danger
For snakes share these paths
There's bullies at large
Preying on innocent blood
Like poisonous snakes
In society
Devious propaganda
Cold snakes share these paths
The danger of life
Is failing to beware snakes
Exciting challenge

Walk carefully!
Excerpt from "A Narrow Fellow in the Grass"
But never met this fellow,
Attended or alone,
Without a tighter breathing,
And zero at the bone.
The last stanza of one of my favorite poems!
Snakes and ladies are natural enemies.

Very nicely done! I almost stepped on a Massasauga once. I was hiking, and it was crossing a path. I quickly learned to watch my step.
Beautiful blog!
Snakes... I detest them and fear what damage they can do, be it the kind that slithers upon the ground, or the even better camouflaged kind that walk among us.
Great take on the prompt, excellent poem! Thank you so much for joining us on Two Shoes Tuesday!
I love this take on danger.. and I really like the poem...
Love the post and beware of snakes yikes for those out walking :]
OOPS! I think I'll change from my sandals into shoes. ;)
There's more than reptilians snaking thru that grass! great haiku...
Snakes terrify me. Even the thought of snakes terrify me! This is why I don't do hiking....I once watched the movie "Snakes on a Plane"... for days afterwards, I was even terrified of extension cords, or anything of that sort on the floor....LOL eek.
