5 Free Verse Poems 1. Conceit My Gecko Is A Track Star My gecko is a track star, Always exercising and practicing by running down his cage, He can explode off his start fast enough to run up the walls, Trying to catch the crickets intruding in his home, They try to invade his living space, But he is fast enough to catch them, My gecko will even catch and kill anyone that gets in his way. He can run faster than any human, He can travel at speeds impossible to man, and he can run on the ceiling of his cage. My gecko does not sell car insurance like some, But he can run better than all other.
