Haiku #15: The snake slid away

A little red-bellied snake, picked up from the road and moved to a safer spot.

The snake slid away,

But the eyes that glared at me,

Remained in the grass.


Haiku by Kyoshi. Translation by R.H. Blyth.

Pretty - is that a young one or are they quite small as adults?
