Entangled By Sudd

Entangled by sudd in the mirky
White Nile river, the helpless water
foul became damned prey, sure to be
eaten by the alligator.
Life fleeting, water rising
to take its victim. 
Struggling to free itself,
constricts it, causing stricter
imprisonment of the sudd.
The alligator finds an easy meal today.

Interesting write. What is a sudd? I get a water foul. Keep the magical pen flowing. Mom
