Are you trying to plant a snake specific phobia into my crumbling mind, or worse make it a complex case of a word and snake phobia combined? I never thought about creative writing quite that way (and perhaps will never think of it the same way again..). Ideally I would have liked to see the 'words' theme weaved into the poem itself, rather than staying in the title. Still, it was an intriguing image.
What a charmer you are. Snakes, women, poetry... lovely. The hissy sibilance portrays your cobra beautifully. This poem is mentioned in the New Poems Review thread on literotica's Poetry Feedback and Discussion forum.
I like the way you begin with an image and then bring the focus in, and eventually turn the camera toward the reader. "Advice" poems are dangerous, because they can make a reader defensive, but this one gets in under the skin, as it were. Excellent work.
