Snake

Slithering across decaying, rotting leaves
Its long, forked tongue tentatively searching, feeling.
Glistening in the moonlight
Its inky black scales knotted together like a long safety blanket.
Putrid smells fill the air
As it SINKS its fangs into an unlucky victim.
Red eyes glow in the dark as it stares
Deep, deep into your heart before…
It STRIKES!!!
