I just remembered how I preened on the TV for hours because of NatGEO wild. My curiosity also assisted me in the venture.
So, I would look and look and look for hours. Though, my siblings grumbled at my new found love-they all wanted to see cartoons.
Anyways, in one of their many documentation of the wild, I came across the BASILISK lizard which is popularly known as the JESUS CHRIST LIZARD because of its ability to walk on water.
Truth be told, I was amazed at the wonders it can do. I’d like you all to;
-See picture
-Compose a poem inspired by picture with words (Basilisk and Water) title.

Some say
Water is
The elixir
Of life
You’d believe
It if you
Ever saw a
Basilisk run
Across it
I’m in awe of
Of this amazing
Feat
The only
Others time
It’s ever
Been done
Before
Is by our
Lord JC
Love this… there’s a form of comedy hidden in the poem. I love it
With grace undenied, he did glide
the basilisk strode across the stream in pride.
With legs so quick and speed ablur
Nary was waters surface left disturbed.
For his eyes were set on his prey
And not even the stream would bar his way.
Love the poem! Witty, fun, determined!
Skip across
Splish, splosh, splash
Raindrops in reverse
Ripples on the surface
Waters sky
See how I run the race to be number one
