On a desert road an irritated snake
coils and challenges my truck,
the truck shies away.
~
In the desert noon nothing moves,
a long slow rattlesnake finds shade
under my truck.
~
An evening snake hunts a sandy bar
for a sign of mouse,
a moonlight canoe ride finds a different camp.

Love the line 'the truck shies away.'
i also liked 'the truck shies away'... machine is no match for nature.
I enjoyed these, especially the third one. I would definitely shy away from a rattlesnake...!
Like the third one best..
