Iguana Haiku By Dee Greene and Other Budding Poets

Iguana Haiku by Dee Greene

Gray lizard itch, claw. Gasping. Eyes bug. Slither rub. Patch sloughs.Green again.

Alfalfa pellets bits of orange and parsnip shreds ig finds salad bowl. Staring keen, head cocked. Grab! Throw back, gulp down gullet. M.K.mixture gone.

Vitamin D drops Pet shop sells miracle cure Bottle of hooey.

Iggy bob. Stalking. Mount, grapple, roll with passion. Soiled towelfor laundry.

Shower company iguana hangs on curtain. Careful! Is not soap.

Minute hitch hikers! Iguana hide peppered red pesky mites abound.

Pets cohabitate. Ig tail whips authority. Cats walk wide around.

Is it boy or girl? Femoral pores show nothing "Pat" the iguana.

Corkscrew green in tub Owners cry with sheer delight, "My ig pooped today!"

Cages, heaters, lights, iguana accessories. Reptile Barbie dolls.

Red heating lamp glows. UV light flicks off. Show time! "Iguanas in Hell."

Accidents happen. Body leaves tail with peril. Ig in two pieces.

Oh no! Wash it again. Ig sneaks a poop in my hair. This mousse won't work well.

Potting soil moist, warm. Enclosed box so inviting. Plant my eggs today.

Small friend's lifeless form. The green is gone and we sob Iggy bobs no more.....

Legs of frogs Dinosaur back and head, Move to the next branch.

Fierce attacking bite, Claws of hypodermic needle, Flicker tongue of love.

By Lord Doome Father of "The lizard Lestat"

"The lizard Lestat's" Haiku of shedding. Skin falls to the cage floor. The predator comes to clean. I itch.
