Symphonic sirens serenade me from afar;
distinctive, delectable scents tickle and tantalise:
my senses awash with anticipation
as, finally, I lay eyes on my prey.

Full of gators with sawtooth...

Let the chase begin with heart in mouth
Track down the sun burnt...

soft with reptilian fangs, hard with poison.
Her covetous husband lies upon the Nile’s reef.

wearing ivory feathers to show all he is leader.
Powerful orange talons watching as all his prey fled,

excessively volumes
of chattering , and
rambling

Or in early evenings, watch a...
