Thank you Will! Just playing around mostly today...but thought I'd share. Still gotta dive deep into your work...keep it up my friend. I might be late to the party, but I'll be there!
Excellent poem, Peter. Lizards making love ... hmmm, they're everywhere here in Florida, but I've yet to see them do that. I'll have to watch more closely! (wink)
I don’t know that I’ve ever seen one the color in your photo. Ours are different shades of gray with bright orange wattles (like a rooster has on its throat).
Yep! The one in the photo isn't exactly like the ones here. Love watching them puff out their wattles...thanks for defining that term. Wasn't sure what that throat thing was called.
Yes, and it’s hysterical when they puff out their wattles, they bob their head up and down in a prideful way, as if to tell the ladies, “Here I am! Look at me! Aren’t I just the most fantabulous male you’ve ever seen?” Hahahaha
I like this little glimpse into your day and how you keep tying it all back to your dog
sometimes I wonder if poetry is the purity of how we think, and all this extra writing stuff is cognition getting in the way
Lee...I really don't know. Poetry cool!
beautiful poem! "Two tiny lizards making love on the pee pad" is an amazing opener

Playing around is the way to go, really enjoyed it. And no worries haha there's no rush at all

haha thanks C.J. I'm a little north in South Carolina and they're cool little creatures.
Yes, I agree! Fun to watch, too … (wink)

(I think those are only on males, right?)
haha I believe you're right, those are the males strutting their stuff.
Hahahaha now I’ve GOT to be more observant! I’ll be watching from a whole different point of view. Hahahaha
Astute - well-written piece using the power of perception
