My dear friend,
Dragon flames now fade A serpent squiggles a trail Through dawn's misty veil Old skins left behind Through garden roads yet to grow New forks start to show Heed snake oil’s smooth slide— There’s Kaa-lm through the coils, Grace in scaly toils When venom beckons Slither through forbidden leaves Bite what the heart weaves If heart constricts tight Re-mamba to breathe and shed All that's done and said What we slough grows light Each curve marks tomorrow's skew Pave your path anew ------- May your year of the snake be more of a charmer than my attempt at haikus. . .wishing you and loved ones a fang-tastic 2025!-------
