Garden Snake Poem by Rob Lamberton
Garden Snake
A simple serpent
Visited the garden mine
Would I take notice
Would I use my garden spade
As it shook upon the vine
A humble serpent
I dare not avert my eyes
Could I get bitten
Could there be garden grave
Or'e I eat the fruit divine
But if his humbleness and simplicity turn into a disguise, then there could be a garden grave.
'A simple serpent, a humble serpent'. If this serpent is a simple and humble as the speaker said, then he or she shouldn't worry.
Very nice lines really.But from the figure it does appear a not simple one.

A serpent symbolizes temptation and evil. We must not succumb to its temptation. A thought provoking and wonderful poem with great images. It reminds me of the Garden of Eden.
