Analysis and comments on Snake by Theodore Roethke

If this poem was about a penis, I do feel sorry for whoever it belongs to. I think he means that he wants to have the grace and stealthyness of a snake.

D00D,

shut up, not everything revolves around penises, you are type of creep that tries to find sexual imagery in everything, which is possible if you have that type of personality. What would be his purpose in writing about a penis?

just shut up and don't comment on respected poetry.

I believe that this poem symbolizes the male orgasm. Roethke's diction is definitely sexual and refers to the penis and male genetalia.
