Charming poem well written in flow and rhyme.

    That you Z for your thoughtful review. Since I was born in the 40s, I guess you are younger. Maybe when I'm older I will write a cockeyed free verse. LOL.

    Have a great weekend.

I love the art work here very much
It was bit scary but the young lad handled
the snake well in the picture.
I guess this lad could handle snakes quite well
and quite experienced.

I really liked the way how this poem was written.

This resonated with me in many ways, I too have been afraid of snakes my whole life, I have two fearless sons who never let me forget that. This is well written and I greatly enjoyed it. Wonderful imagery.

Cute poem about a cute idea. You tried hard to make it rhyme and tell your story. I have read it several times trying to find a way to give it more than a good, but I can't. It rhymes but it just doesn't work for me.

I have a story here that is called Outsmarted. It is about the boys in my science class in HS finding a snake. They were scaring the girls with the snake. You would enjoy the story. Patricia

I do not like snakes of any type at all. I had a run-in with a rattlesnake in Yellowstone National Park. I was just out of his reach and my retreat was hasty. Excellent rhyme, rhythm and story - an easy read.

    Thank you Alan for your thoughtful and encouraging review. I've been to Yellowstone a few times and fortunately did NOT see ANY snakes let alone a rattler. Yikes!

"Sssnaake whisspererrrr, he sighed." Now that's funny, terrifying his grandmother with humor. I like this kid. Well done and a good way to ease the phobia...write it out! :)

This is well written. I am very afraid of snakes.In general, boys love all types of animals, they like to hold, touch, and play with them.Your grandson is cute and seems very happy and calm. I like the repeating word snake. the descriptive language works and so does the word choice.

Hi there,

I have to admit that snakes don't bother me, but hamsters... that's another matter altogether!

This had a good flow to it and has an engaging story at it heart.

Nicely penned and good luck in the contest.
