A Pleiades Contest Entry
Tuatara by June Sargent
Pleiades Poetry writing prompt entry

Tuatara from New Zealand
Traipsing 'cross the twisted tree trunk
Terrorizing spinning spiders
Tongue in cheek that's always ready
Tossing into tummy tasty
Trail mix made of dried mosquitoes,
Tadpoles - topped with crunchy beetles

Author Notes
Tuatara are rare, medium-sized reptiles found only in New Zealand. They are the last survivors of an order of reptiles that thrived in the age of the dinosaurs.
