JOSIE'S POEMS
Snake Poems
By Josie Whitehead
The onomatopoeia comes from the sound of S which I've used regularly in my poem. Remember that snakes hiss (sss) when they're afraid as a warning of attack. Ssssss

The Snake
By Josie Whitehead
See how he slithers;
See how he slides.
With swiftness and ease
He now quietly hides.
See how he watches
With sharp piercing eyes
And will stealthily pounce,
For there’s skill in surprise.
See how he swallows;
Snakes do not have teeth.
Then he’ll slither and slide
Through scrubland and heath.
See this solitary predator
Spiral back home,
But tomorrow, surreptitiously,
He'll set off to roam.
