Slowly,
he closes his eyes.
He looks so relaxed;
s o w i s e .
His body,
feeling cold against my skin;
his his fingers,
c o o l a n d t h i n .
His skin,
scaly and smooth,
he looks so perfect,
nothing to add
o r r e m o v e .
Slowly,
he opens his eyes.
Looking at me,
I think I see him
s m i l e .
He looks
so small,
so delicate,
in my hand.
Yet his every move
is so majestic,
s o g r a n d .
His bright green color
is so appealing;
his thin tail
like a
s t r i n g .
He sits there,
looking up at me;
and we both just sit there,
w e s i t a n d w e s e e .
No matter who we are,
we all need
love,
we all need
affection,
we all need
s o m e o n e .
My new best friend, a green little Anole lizard, has taught me some things:
we all need someone
and someone need us.
I know the beginning of this poem could have sounded a little like a love poem,
but it's a little of both love and my typical poetry.
Regardless,
I hope all enjoyed it. :)
