RATTLESNAKE or SLITHER AWAY
By Michael Jaburian
|
Disguised within the trail
Scales fresh as old skin sheds, The snake rattles its tail. I walked up to it then backed away
Warning me and others, The snake rattles its tail. It blocked our path
So we let it be, The snake rattles its tail. Visitors to its home
We waited long for the snake to slither away The snake rattles its tail After 10 minutes of a break
The snake finally allowed us to pass, The rattlesnake slithers away. Michael Jaburian, 20, is a Pasadena native and UCSB student who loves nature, music, and writing. |
