Snake Poem by Langston Hughes
Snake
He glides so swiftly
Back into the grass-
Gives me the courtesy of road
To let me pass,
That I am half ashamed
To seek a stone
To kill him.
Yes, we should be ashamed of killing a snake unnecessarily.....thought provoking
I really don't want you to kill the snake. If you are still alive and listening plz don't kill it

I picked this poem to compare it with D H Lawrence's snake. Just like Lawrence LANGSTON was ashamed of his feelings.
