For Real Toads: Susie's photos

For members and contributors to the writers' group Imaginary Garden with Real Toads, Kerry has introduced another skill of poet Susie Clevenger, who blogs as the Laundry Goddess—her photography talent.
Kerry posted several of Susie's photos as inspiration for the Sunday Challenge, the only Real Toads challenge that gives us a full 24 hours for contemplation.
I zoomed in right away on Susie's black and white photo of a traditional train station because, after dogs and cats, I love trains best. Then I noticed her fabulous portrait of a red iguana. I don't claim to love iguanas yet, but we've been seeing a lot of them the past several years, and I'm getting used to their prehistoric je-ne-sais-quoi.
I'm glad I have 24 hours in which to decide.

Later:
The iguana won, and its poem is done (but if it makes you think of a Beatles song, I'm sure it's not my fault). First, however, here's Susie's train station photo. If I hadn't just come home from traveling, this would make me want to go somewhere.

big red iguana,

jungle at your feet,

eating leaves

and vegetables,

nasturtiums as a treat.

not eating

other animals,

an herbivore are you:

asparagus

and parsnips,

a bit of spinach, too.

peaceful iguana,

people you won’t chase,

though they might

run away from you

as fast as they can race.

if approached, iguana,

you might bite or slash

because you’re stressed

or irritated,

(human beings are overrated).
