A snake? (a haiku)

Asleep by the lake
slithery, slippery snake
or is it a stick?

    A good Haiky always has an element of surprise in the last sentence, and yours had! Real clever wording, Abbie:)

    Well done,

    5/5 Ingrid

    I loved this nature poem and am especially fond of haiku poetry. This was a very good one :) sometimes sticks CAN look like snakes!! Great job

    This is indeed one clever haiku.. I like the imagery creation in just 3 lines and also that often when the snake lies still, we misinterpret it to be a stick and you have portrayed it well.. And the alliteration as LP mentioned adds a poetic touch... Excellent piece little girl..:)
