I only remember ever reading one snake poem. It is "A Narrow Fellow In The Grass" by Emily Dickinson. I submitted it to Strays. It was kinda hard to get it to look at all like a poem. Maybe they will post it, maybe not.
Here is a link to it:
<a href="http://www.online-literature.com/dickinson/824/"> A Narrow Fellow In The Grass </a>
Anyway, does anyone know of any other snake poems?

Actually, I just stumbled across this one last night while studying my Spanish textbook:

I love snake poems.. I only have one and i would love to share it with you if I may.
Snakes, snakes, they make me hum.
Snakes, snakes, tickle my bum.
They slither and sway in the grass.
I love a nice snake poking my ass..

Desert Scour
©1991, 2001 by Raksha
...sailed across the blast-furnace
landscape, wheeling
The white-hot sky in great lazy circles,
Shimmering on the molten
Air, tasting the wind fluid
with dust, lapping up the whole
Horizonless expanse until you spiral down
To a trackway on the desert,
a ripple mark on the surface,
a wave-crest focused into
coils of sand.
Her eyes are thorns, her teeth
Flames, her scales
serrated sand -- she is
Desert Scour, and if you
Pour yourself into her life you can
Taste the hot venom as it becomes your blood,
The desiccating wind that forms your breath -- you can
Quench your starved soul in solitude and submerge
Forever under the vast
ocean of scorched sand.

Can anyone guess which species of venomous snake is being celabrated in the poem above?
I know.......but do you?
Regards,
Mark.

I translated the Spanish poem using Google Language Tools. The words sound like they would be part of a song! Chicka-boom chicka-boom chicka-boom chicka-boom! Those words weren't anywhere in the poem, it just seemed like that kinda song. :P
Becky's poems are truly inspiring. Desert Scour sounds like its looking down on a Sidewinder or a Horned Viper? I think I met that Nantucket guy with the bucket of snakes; a bit odd but as he walks around Nantucket he certainly gives the snakes a lot of fresh air!
