Geckos 

I'm in a love affair with geckos
and the style their green skin echoes.
Their slippery, streamlined forms engage me,
hypnotic, bulging eyes enslave me.
They are immortal creatures, they can't be annihilated,
tails severed from them are soon regenerated.
With skinks and salamanders there is no competition,
the gecko is the lizard for me,
it gives me great fruition.
