In The Tall Grass

I met a snake on the garden path. He was green with a yellow stripe down his back, like a garden hose. He slithered across the path and into the tall grass, his head waving above the grass as he weaved his way towards the creek and disappeared. I gripped my hoe and proceeded to pick my way down the path, eyes darting to the left and to the right for the telltale ripple of another.

Enjoyed.
Might just do some imaginary slithering too.

Ha! yes, slithering away into an imaginary place!
But, however small, snakes always give me the creeps and this one wasn't small.
Thanks!
