Lizard in Botanic Garden
How fitting.
A green anole lizard
Lives, thrives in a botanic garden.
Reptile in its civic forest,
Leaping upon daylily fronds,
Puffing its red throat
Whenever the Great Lizard Spirit prompts it.
Opening at will its fine lidded eyes,
Its green beaded body
Fitting my camera’s focus
Filling my morning with grace and beauty.
