The Chameleon Poem by Katy Fulker

The Chameleon



A chameleon crawls along a stalk of omnipotency,
His feet tread on green; his skin matches,
Ahead he sees a potential mate,
He changes colour:
Red.

Having failed to make contact, the creature decides to walk on,
He is green once again, neutral and safe,
The he bumps into his parents,
He changes colour:
Blue.

Saying goodbye to his parents, the chameleon feels a slight hunger,
Munching on some leaves, he is green a third time.
Friends jump him from behind,
He changes colour:
Black.

Weary of changing colour, the chameleon decides to take a rest,
Whilst sleeping, his heart suddenly stops beating,
His soul leaves his body,
Colourless,
Blank.
