Gatecrasher

Someone I bumped in to yesterday.

I don't mind if you occupy a space in the

 

 

garden.

But don't come into my room because you really scare the living s**t out of me.

 

 

I didn't even know you had arrived until

last night when you

slithered to my gate.

All

7 FOOT

of you.

 

And they all started running with rocks at you.

Shouting in Sinhala.

 

Then I saw you.

And

RAN

 

 

closer

to see you not in a zoo.

 

Thank you Python

for reminding me

that I'm still

living in

the Tropics.

Ha ha. This was good and thoroughly enjoyable. Nice description.

Go careful where you tread? Did you take a picture of your invader? Nice short poem; definitely created a picture.
