I Serpent - A Ssself-Sssuficient Sssonnet Responssse Poem by Jonathan ROBIN

I, Serpent, hiss dismissing slander’s lines,
Slimeless shiny scales reflecting sun
Enhanced by wings before mankind begun,
Remembered still, no ill spills from my twines.
Perchance your ideal garden world with vines
Exists in some dimension? See, undone,
Nature flattened 'neath concrete riot runs,
The air's polluted as hurt earth repines.
I know no sin, Coeval Evil, Eve!
Sway I scale waving, unadorned? Man's hands
Extend through eve, dawn, seize up seas and sands,
Respecting neither things, themselves. Lands grieve.
Perhaps if I'd a sleeve, like Man I'd trick
ENTer, Destroy, Depart; heed well Time's Tick!
