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. |
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..... |
Haiku contributed by Dan Speziale, written by Michael Harris
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. |
