Constance La France Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

_______________________________________________________________

Beneath the Tranquil

Beneath the warm and tranquil surface,
lurks a monster, a huge shark relentless and fierce;
cruel, he swims in circles waiting to attack,
an innocent, oblivious, poet gliding. 

A real poet-eater with great razor sharp words, 
beware of this savage destroyer of poets;
he is heartless and brutal maybe a bull shark,
because he likes warmth and attacks poems.

He is a coward who lurks beneath the surface,
if he should come close while you are a-drifting by;
just give him a sharp wack on his ugly big snout,
send him fleeing-  a coward always runs away.

CayCay Godwin December 18, 2018 at 6:26 PM I like your upbeat and cute take, it was entertaining and reassuring. Poetry hugs ... CayCay Constance La France December 19, 2018 at 7:53 AM CayCay thank you for your kind words, I love poetry soup and I believe that there are more good people in the soup than bad, the bad can be spotted easily and have a way of disappearing, one just has to wait for their fall from grace and departure ~

Robert Lindley December 16, 2018 at 11:32 AM Love this creative poem my dear friend. Poetry's massive oceans all have saints and monsters. I try to avoid the monsters and sincerely praise the kind-hearted, artistic and inspiring saints that pen to our delights such wondrously creative , magnificently beautiful and rich inspiring verse! A fav, this inspiring piece you have gifted. Constance La France December 18, 2018 at 2:36 PM Thanks for the Fav!

Marc Acrich December 16, 2018 at 10:13 AM I like it, I have a silly poem that is called there is piranha in my bathtub, all about what is lurking underneath our skin Constance La France December 18, 2018 at 2:35 PM :-)

Silent One December 16, 2018 at 5:58 AM Tell me about it Constance.. Sadly the case, there are some sharks who pretend to be saints... You did a great poem though.. Good luck in the contest.. Constance La France December 18, 2018 at 2:35 PM ~.~

M. L. Kiser December 15, 2018 at 7:47 PM Now I'm terrified..."Poet Eaters"; I will retire for the night with one eye open and my ears stretched to hear windows and doors being opened; beneath my bed in easy reach...my old baseball bat; if the monster comes...he's going to have one huge headache!

Sunlite Wanter December 15, 2018 at 6:10 PM The poet-eaters never have attacked me. My poetry is too mediocre, I guess. They are green eyed monsters, and I would be flattered, but would not pay them any mind. Constance La France December 18, 2018 at 2:34 PM :-) Laura Leiser December 16, 2018 at 12:46 PM Your poetry is NOT mediocre, Sunlight! Keep your creativity flowing! :)

Jan Allison December 15, 2018 at 12:14 PM sad to say I see a couple of sharks still here, fake accounts and liars and unfortunately it certainly taints the soup bowl:-( hugs Jan xx Constance La France December 18, 2018 at 2:33 PM hugs!

Heidi Sands December 15, 2018 at 10:55 AM Glad to hear this is fictional. Written well, as if real! :) Constance La France December 18, 2018 at 2:33 PM :-)
