Peringuey’s Adder

Dwarf king of the desert dunes
Mister Sideways sidles on
disappears into the sands
melts into the shifting surface
unseen eyes that watch and wait
careful, gecko, danger lurks
that tempting wriggler is no worm
Mister Sideways baits the trap.



Line count: 8
Free verse
For Express It In Eight, 07.06.23
Prompt: Sideways.
Note: Just the mention of the word sideways makes me think of this unique snake. Even snakes can be beautiful!
