Lizard Lounging
written by: Lynn White
The lizard ran out
quickly.
He sat on a rock
and looked up
slowly
checking the progress
of the sun.
It suited him
so he stayed
and stayed
soaking up the warmth
reserving his energy
relaxing.
Relaxed
but alert
only moving when disturbed
by food
or danger
moving quickly then
to pounce
or head back
knowing his path
straight back
into his hideaway
willing to lose a tail
on the way
if necessary.
