Calcified daggers,

Sat waiting behind pursed lips,

Painful venom flows.

A/N: Another snake haiku from that session I did a while ago. I think this one represents how bad words can poison you. What do you think?

    Sounds like many humans I have met! The snakes were all friendlier 😂 Except that one baby cobra I had in the house… it was hissing and not so friendly….. 🫠🤭
