Observations A salamander or gecko Witch it was I do not know Seemed to have prodigious strength though I saw no muscles in his length. He leaped or flew from wall to floor It seemed to me three yards or more And ran along the ground so fast Not a shadow did he cast? And when he stopped he stood like dead Beneath his neck a flag of red That seemed to wave some unknown foe Or a lady I do not know His legs were thin his body slim His face a grin it seemed all brim He sport a tale of super bail That he could drop if all else failed A miracle of adaptation An answer to his salvation |

Did Balladeer 'pest control' your house?...I understand he hires a bunch of those young Cuban kids with fly swatters and then lets a bunch of frogs and lizards loose in folk's houses... |

I used to collect lizards as a tom-boy...and horned toads, but I steered clear of the scorpions that sometimes appeared from nowhere... but now? I'll watch them on Discovery, thank you...or perhaps at your house, if I ever get down that way. Does Isabelle tell you to take them outside? I'll bet she does! Hugs to you both!  |

Leapin' Lizards!!!! What a way to start your morning. Maybe it just wanted to sit and have you recite some of your wonderful poetry with a tiny cup of tea? Awwww...poor little thing. Seymour, kindly give it a crumb of your apple turnover. Who knows...it just might be the spirit of some famous poet, smiling at your accomplishments! hugs to you for this write. Chris  |

Mornin' Mr. T.! I must admit that not all of God's creatures make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside as do kittens! ---but they all have their part to play in our world!  Great powers of observation, dear poet! Linda |

LOL... Just last night, my sister was telling me about the bug-catching prowness of the lizards on her patio... they avoid my place like the plague or become cat toys. *G* I enjoyed this observation very much, Seymour... thanks for sharing!! *S* And I'm so sorry this Florida excursion didn't include a Seymour hug... tell Isabel hi for me! *S* |
