Skark

D.W.Clarke

Beneath the waves
Blood runs cold
A beast lurks
Circling a fold

Lightning quick
Acute to sound
Killer of killers
Pound for pound

Aware of fright
Keen in sight
Ice blue eyes
Guards in white

Hungry razors
Lethal its bite
Hunting the seas
For fleshy delight

Amidst the fold
flashes silver gray
Clouds of blood
Minced meat prey

Outside a fold
Swims a beast
Circling instinctively
Ready to feast
