The Snake Charmer


Wind's soft yawn
rustles tall grass
tickles Catalpa leaves

River slows
sways
in her race to the
ocean

Sentinel moon
hangs heavy
host-like
in the thick, velvet sky

Licorice whip snakes
eyes dull
entranced with opiate music
of the goddess
rise  

This was written for Magpie Tales which gives a weekly pictorial writing prompt, this week Rousseau's The Snake Charmer, and Three Word Wednesday which this week challenged writers with the words yawn, dull and race.
