Free verse poems inspired by Africa: Red-Neck Lizard "Hi, Red-Neck Lizard!" He nods, pauses, pushes up, Bounds off boulders; gone. Sewage Worm Sewage worm, wriggles! Yuck! Quick, go get the sea salt! Sewage worm thrashes. The Woman ...Zzzyy! She slaps at her legs, slaps at her arms, slaps at her neck too; Ouch! The blood-suckers got her. Past time to light up the coil.
