Poem (37) - A Prairie Dog and a Pine Snake

Wow. It's been over a year. Oh well. Here's 4 poems written for a biology 102 project in my honors class. I was very happy with the responce from my professor regarding them. ^^ And they're the first poems I've written in a very long time. Here's hoping there are more to come sooner than later.


Prairie Dog - #1

Black beady eyes squint along his nose
My little friend sits striking a pose
His body stands partially in a hole
He’s reminding me a bit of a mole
Although he does have such tiny toes

Prairie Dog - #2

Squeaking out loud with a sharp little bark
A sandy colored fellow darts out for a lark
He scampers around in circles
Hopping over holes like hurtles
I wonder if he will continue until dark


Pine Snake - #1

Smooth and rounded little head
Moving around like following a thread
While it’s tongue flickers out
I wonder what it’s thinking about
Could it be when it’s next fed

Pine Snake - #2

A slight grin permanently fixed
With it’s back tongue betwixt
Eyes glint with brown and black
As are the same colors on it’s back
Patterned well and mixed
