Serpentine in its attack,
...across the sidewalk snakes the crack,
Searing sun, midsummer's heat,
...only hastens walk's defeat.
It is the winter's ice and snow,
...providing venom for death's throe,
To the sidewalk's final break,
...succumbing to fangs of the snake.
No rattles signal its advance,
...just silent slither, snake's fatal dance,
Serpentine in its attack,
...across the sidewalk snakes the crack.

OOOHHH, Tim. I don't like snakes, but I liked your poem, anyway.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
