The Chocolate Snake Poem by Emmanuel Damilola Adeyemo

A U-turn I made
When I saw you at gaze.
My heart skipped its breath
But my heels did the rest.

So funny it was
But my peers’ tease will be worse.
Recovery from the shock was slow
But the rescue came through the air-blow.

The day was bright and sunny,
Gluttonously, it licked the sun’s honey.
It lay on its green bed
And its skin and bed did not blend.

It was tall and slender,
Wearing a gorgeous chocolate leather.
Chilling was the mood of the snake
But I ran back to cross the lake.
