the snake's prey

The snake’s prey Slithering snakes sliding along Wriggle forwards, body long Zig zag waves along the caves Looking for its prey Eyes shining silently brood Oval shapes looking for food Glass beads sees, busy like bees, The mouse that is his prey Tongue slides out to test the air Moving all around his lair Flicking out, the air to scout, As he targets his busy prey Moving fast to catch his lunch Fangs sinking, hear a crunch Jaws wide for food to slide As he swallows down his prey © Gail Thompson 2011

DESCRIPTION

This is a children's poem that I wrote a few months ago, when I was working with a year 8 class looking at animal poetry.

TRANSCRIPT

Page 1: The Snake's Prey

Thesnake’sprey 

Slithering snakes sliding along 

Wriggle forwards, body long 

Zig zag waves along the caves 

Looking for its prey 

 

Eyes shining silently brood 

Oval shapes looking for food 

Glass beads sees, busy like bees, 

The mouse that is his prey 

 

Tongue slides out to test the air 

Moving all around his lair 

Flicking out, the air to scout, 

As he targets his busy prey 

 

Moving fast to catch his lunch 

Fangs sinking, hear a crunch 

Jaws wide for food to slide 

As he swallows down his prey
