Best Predatory Poems

I once was here, then in the blue ocean,
I once was dry, then thrown into commotion. 
I had no clue, for I was in the complete dark,
but I was becoming a GREAT WHITE SHARK!

Just a wee baby was I at five feet in length,
I have...

There are too many roads,
that have lead me down it's path ---
It seems the further I journey,
the more society shows me their rath ---
So I go on into this mystery called life ---
Even though each day greets me like an ex-wife ---
Burdens do not diminish...

Predatory Riches Upset French Presidential Campaign 


#Fillon, rich and predatory,’s in the slime,
Took public money for his wife so fine.
His campaign to advance
To President of #France
Has people saying, 'He’s passed a red line.'

It's tough on Penelopé,
Who's slaved for her man,
But the money 'enveloppé'
Counts her work...

Surge of rage in domes of violence
skins the history, becomes a frozen embryo
of genetic markers, shimmers in society,
race and native shirts.

Enters into the creation of a saga
accomplished by advancing poppies;
there was no connection to ancestors.

Brutalizing golden dawn
leaves a bitter taste.
They were fighting with broken swords.

Virgin...

I'd heard a story some years ago of thirteen cautions let it be known.' 
On gordon brown (prime minister then) about lewd acts with young
Boys not men!
And not uoon the sports field (you'll now ken!) Reuters knew yet a
Story ever aired.? How badly could all...

Screech of owl with shrieking caterwauling
doesn’t startle me at all
until wings shroud the sky.

My blessed-courage takes cover real fast
as the rodent alongside’s
encroached on by talons.

The thick presence of the owl says don’t look,
turn a blind eye to his kill
as neck turns one slick eye.

He has...

I see him there
Hiding
Peering through
Damp blades of grass
Weighing the odds
Wet track
Thick grass
Slick surface
The bauble hangs
Tauntingly
Glistening
In a shimmering wind
Claws clench
Shoulders tense
A final flip
Of an impatient
Predatory tail…

Accept the "Holy Fathers" stains?
What prideful tolerance sustains
The acts by priestly "Confessors"
Whose transgressions we all deplore.

Their molestations cause such pain
That no repentance can explain
To parishes stretched far and wide -
To innocents they cast aside.

Religious aristocracy,
Duplicitous conformity,
Accepted this hypocrisy -
This predatory blasphemy.

Faux piety to hide their...

Particularly peripatetic
penguins pursue pharmacological
possibilities perusing polar
predator proboscis predilections,
predominantly picking putrified,
phenobarbital-packed perch-piece puree
packings, provocatively presented.

I wish I could have gotten a rhyme in there as well,
but that's an alliterative Pleiades with 10-syllable lines.

It's also a near summary of the latest escapades over on
the collaborative limerick thread...

She is insatiable;predatory
In business always valedictory
Sees no conflict of interest in her position
Spurns financial disclosure requisition

She strides like a colossus, speedily
Eating smaller fry greedily
Using as an opportunity every disrupter
Allowing nothing or nobody to be an interrupter...

It was a perfect day, a sunny golden day.
I felt the gentle sweep of easy breezes,
the music of the wind.
It was my daily stroll around the neighborhood,
my daily clarity.

It was there, and then I beheld the cat,
the leashed Siamese cat, prowling and smelling.
A man clutched...
