Thanks for taking the time to read and comment! I wonder if there's a thread on this, but your comments are making me think a lot about accuracy, haha. As something metaphoric that still needs to make sense, how accurate must a metaphor be? It's describing something by using an image of something else, is there a little leeway there, since it is metaphoric? And then how much leeway? That seems like it might be a fine line..
You may be right about the introduction of the snake metaphor, when I had spiders throughout. I was hoping it would give... Interest? Impact? Hearing your thoughts, I'm rethinking it. Thanks again, I'll keep your comments in mind.

I relish writing bad poems, if it means someday I'll write a good one.
