Ophidiophobia

The fear of snakes...ughh I hate those things!!

The slithering, the hissing

     Send chills up my spine,

     Like a cold breeze,

                  That causes me to shiver.

             Everywhere I look,

                          The snakes surround me.

                                      They move with earthworm motions,

                   Tongues flailing in the air.

                      I cannot escape, as their long,

                      Slender bodies, crawl up my front.

They wrap themselves,

     Over every inch of me.

        But I convince myself,

                        That it is just my imagination.

             There is truly only one serpent in my midst,

             Though my mind makes me see millions.

                                   And so I concentrate elsewhere,

                                Hoping to find that soothing sound.

                                     The chirps of birds, the laughter of friends,

           Soon dissepate these images.

        And I return to reality.
