Rattlesnails
A poem
Rak-a-tak-a-tak-a A slowww, dry, kind of sound Something unhurriedly clicking Low down on the ground A steady, deliberate noise Like a clock, with rusty gears Chik-a-chik-a-chik-a Find the source, follow your ears Discover a creature distinguished By the leisurely shaking of its tail Iād like to (slowly) introduce The humble Rattle Snail B Philippe

A deadly slow chase ensues šØšš
this made me smile immediately, B~
the sound work is doing all the heavy lifting and then...boom..! rattle snail. perfect reveal.
I love how unbothered and slow this little guy is, like the poem itself refused to rush. tiny creature, big personality. super fun, super gentle~
