Lindsay Lonano
The Swamp
The green swamp
Bursts open with abundant life.
A slowly moving log appears
Upon the still surface.
Unsuspecting little bird
Unaware a predator lurks.
Munch! Fast moving predator
Eyes atop his head, delighted!
Alas! Not full yet
He slides upon a rabbit.
Prey, gone in a flash
Where did it go. Woe!
Chomp! Satisfied predator
Gulp! Munch!
