The Creature From the Black Lagoon

In the cradled of life's dark garden, It dwells amongst the murky waters Primeval, Behold the creature from the black lagoon. Nay what is this creation, neither fish or Reptile. Yet a blending of both, a high bread's mixture, Intelligent, and cunning, the last of his species, To survive. Brought unwisely did men, bring beauties Forbidden fruit, unto this lost oasis of Eden. For alone sentinel awaits to partake in such A luscious morsel. So does it not say in biblical text, go forth And multiply, by a driven basic instinct he Cautiously watches from the thicket brush. What a graceful motion moves within the Jungles domain, She swims idle caught unaware, the bride To be herself, charms him with every stroke Across this lake placid. With Chameleon like stealth, the groom appears, Taking his prize to their cavey honeymoon retreat. So tenderly he greets his mate, from shocks Dreamy like state she awakes, and recoils in repulsion. No love's scorn, and tragedies broken heart, Can do more damage than rejections expulsion. Bullets may have cut the flesh to the bone, But was it not beauty, which killed the beast, And the last sight he saw, was his love in Another's arms. So ends natures final verse in this evolutionary Experiment, The creature from the black lagoon now lies Dead, upon this tragic stage of life. BY: CHERYL ANNA DUNN
