Ode To My Gecko Poem by RIC BASTASA

Ode To My Gecko

Rating: 5.0


at night the gecko
overfeeds
itself with the delights
of cockroaches
in the attic of the
old house
where antiques and
family heirlooms
are kept

i switch on the light
and there the gecko
stares at me and it makes me
happy to see it
full and happy

when i sleep and rest my head
on the pillow
the gecko sings again
on the roof
looking at the moon and stars
against the night
