CHASING THE DRAGON
By
Phil Miller
Be still, don’t move, can
you see him there?
Clinging to reeds, waiting
for the moment
To swim for the weeds, his
mate awaits
In warty blouse, so cute
she thinks is
This Great Crested Newt, whose
dance
Entrance with grace and
flair
His magnificent tail
filling the air
With pheromones, to start
a love affair.

Nice one Phil, not your usual style. Very sensitive and I love the play of words in the title. Much appreciated...
ReplyDeleteLike it Phil, when I was young they were very common, sadly they are now quite rare.
ReplyDeleteLove it, particularly the warty blouse
