"A Narrow Fellow in the Grass"

I thought the poem "A Narrow Fellow in the Grass" was a very interesting poem. It had a lot of symbolism in it. I did not completely understand the meaning of the poem. The poem had an interesting rhythm to it though. It definitely had a pattern to it when you read it a couple times. I thought it was pretty interesting. I think the poem might have been talking about a snake. The second stanza in the poem could have been referring to a snake. I also think that there might have been a religious reference in the poem. The poem says, "A spotted shaft is seen." This is obviously talking about the bible when a snake turns in to a shaft. After I read the poem a few times, I began to understand it a lot more. It became obvious after I read "A Narrow Fellow in the Grass" more times, that the poem was about a snake. It was a very interesting poem. I am still not sure as to what the ending meant when it said, Without a tighter breathing, And zero at the bone. I think that this could have possibly meant that the snake killed some one or something bad happened. This is the only possibility that I can think of when they say, zero to the bone. It is kind of hard to interpret at some points. I think that it is very true to say that his notice is sudden. When ever you notice a snake, it is a very scary sight. You are not expecting it, and it will almost always catch you off guard. The poem is very true in some points. A snake's notice is always very sudden. Even the title of the poem kind of gives away what it is about. "A Narrow Fellow in the Grass" is a description of a snake.
