Like April Flowers
Poison and sting
Silken doom towers
Bobbing along
A sea of life
Looking calm
But bringing strife.
Tendrils, string and ribbon
Beneath a balloon bonnet
Zen tranquility with the tide
Hungry hunter on it.
Savage surety of surcease
Tentacles tauntingly tease
Poison penetrations primed
Mindlessly manners mimed
Death to those below
Pain to those above
Hidden from afar
Just opaque enough.
Lacy like a table cloth
Quiet oh so polite
Daintily pick at your food
But chew it up in plain sight.
