This would be a scary dream. However, it dream interpretations are taken seriously, snakes in dreams are not suppose to mean harm but represents healing. so thinking that way, maybe the dream won't be so scary. "head, like a penis", well, that may be another issue. LOL This is a nice free verse and its organization into verses makes it a smooth read. The picture adds a bit of the feeling of terror.

And generally comes (went) not called
did you mean WHEN ?
compellingly paired picture and poem
Created vivid imagery with descriptive words
Painted a perfect picture of the aversion you have for snakes.
love the last two lines where you attempt to get rid of the snake by hiring a mongoose

This was a very good poem. There's vivid details about your fear of snakes. I do have a question about the second line. You wrote;
And generally comes went not called
instead of, when not called. Overall, I thought that your message was clear.

Comment from Judyblue
Clever! You've managed to write a poem about a very real phobia and make the reader laugh. I also love that this poem avoids the usual symbolism of snake as temptation (despite the penis reference). This dream snake is pure fear and that comes through perfectly. The "Mongoose for Hire" sign is so much fun, poet/dreamer displaying a sense of humor. Love it! Thanks for sharing. --Judy
