Seaweed Chains

Washed by tides, tangle inevitable, 
   Lurking licking tongues, tiger whisker weed
   Undercurrent gritty slippery tendrils -
   Barb trusting toes with camouflaged cat creed
   

   Wet predator paws apply pressure
   Leeching life from faithful feet, farcical
   Undulating grass, salty claws sever
   Blades gash slices, cut soles grow barnacles


   February silk ribbon Valentine
   Loch Ness of Labrador's fatal lagoon
   Spiralled willing limbs in sanguine brown twine
   Infatuated padlocked throat caused swoon 


   Hapless lass captured by Amoretto
   Dapper lethal lech Don Juan Otto


    
     Second of February
    - Seaweed Secures -
