    Poem- The Snake Trying


    By W.W.E. Ross

    The Snake Trying


    The snake trying
    to escape the pursuing stick,
    with sudden curvings of thin
    long body. How beautiful
    and graceful are his shapes!
    He glides through the water away
    from the stroke. O let him go
    over the water
    into the reeds to hide
    without hurt. Small and green
    he is harmless even to children.
    Along the sand he lay until
    observed
    and chased away, and now
    he vanishes in the ripples
    among the green slim reeds.
