Praying Mantis

anticipation
glad for this mating
to finally take place

I was ready
a willing participant
wanting this gladly

singing my song
I lured him in
to my dark

he was young
inexperienced
I cared not

obviously
his first time
we did the deed

snap
I ate his head
according to plan

same oh same oh
next day
luring one in

another young one
gave a little prayer
before the deed.

Some mating rituals are apparently, just not worth the misery!

Such a dark temptress, this gave me a shiver!

I love that! I truly had fun writing it, imagining my husband's horror.
