Predators Poems

Predators

In moonlit dunes where silence creeps,
My past still hisses in my sleep
The owl above with spectral stare
The scorpion’s sting, a desert’s dare
They watched, I waited, lips held tight
And struck with fury skinned in night

The mouse so small, so quick, took flight,
And fell beneath my fang's sharp bite

By noon the rat, its frantic dash, 
A silent

What Should We Do With Sexual Predators

what should we do with sexual predators,
trauma, victims, pain and suffering,
what should we do with sexual predators

they creep in like rats
under a leaking ceiling,
all teeth and shadow.
you can't kill every rat.
but you can stop feeding them.

trauma sits in the corner,
cross-legged, smoking,
she never asks for much,
but she stays.

victims keep walking,
along the yellow brick road
clutching their pain
like

Leave Apathy Behind- 2021

“The price good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men.”
	- Plato


In the shadows where nightmares thrive,
courage falters and struggles to survive.
Where the cries of innocence fall unheard,
and darkness engulfs without a sound.

Sex traffickers, predators invisible,
prey upon the vulnerable, a nightmare’s dream.
Still, in the face of fear we hesitate,
lacking

cat astrophes

The pre-dawn rang
as cat choirs sang
in waring gangs
sharp and rank
before they sprang
with claw and fang.

Isn’t it an overweening piety
to think that diverse cat societies
would address conflicts more politely
observe more cultural propriety
and politic more peacefully and quietly
than our own species, which behaves violently

Are we not, in part, their masters?
Don’t we war for goals we’re after?
Aren’t some

Minding Other Peoples’ Affairs or Businesses

Minding other peoples’ affairs or businesses
Some villainous pundits or vile hyenas are the best
In simply doing just that, comrades. They ignore
Their own problems. They leave a huge door
Ajar, wide open, so they can put their flagitious nose
In their neighbors’ personal businesses or affairs
Please, always have the fireman’s water hose
Ready, in check and in full force

Predators

Sun kisses the earth
the wolves are out on the prowl
women watch your backs

Predators and Prey

We all live on the food chain
Even if we cannot see it
There are predators that lurk
And those of us who are prey

Fight as prey might
It always ends up running
Never can the predator be defeated
Only postponed for a night

Living under the gaze of their eyes
Constantly aware, on the look out
Never knowing the next attack
Until it's already

Predators of the Ocean

Eyes as black as the night, and,
The speed of the torpedo,
As it soars into the sea of blue.
Hidden by their attitude of revenge,
Revenge on man.
The Kingdom of the Sea,
Is a vast array of predators,
But the only one is King.
They call him Death.
When you look into,
Those black eyes deep in the Ocean,
You realize it's too late,
Once

Prevalence of Predators

Sharks in the ocean, killer whales -
prevalence of predators in knee deep water,
all because men know better.
They, we - bring disaster to the shore,
to the salty, silty, haven
of children, couples, the old and young.

The fascination of jaws, rows of sharp teeth,
claws at our imaginations; not as lovely
a ride as a dolphin does bring; gladly
gambolling along

Mighty Predators

Come the mighty night
with stars and moon blazing bright.
Hunters hark delight!
Predators prey with sharp sight.
Smaller creatures cringe, affright!

There Are Predators Out There

I cannot fathom life without an internet.
But I wish teenagers were not being cyberbullied.
I love my poetry sites, and instant access to friends.
But teens are mean to each other, sight unseen.

The internet lets me diagnosis myself. Who needs doctors?
But children are posting missives about cutting and killing themselves.
Making this sound normal; giving other children ideas.
So

Synecdoche of Predators

Scorpion

In the piles of wood, 
a lizard was nipped by the
tail with a stinger.

Eagle

A pair of wide wings
flapping in the air swooped down
upon a serpent.

Alligator

Fangs in the river
quietly waits for a prey, 
attacking the duck.

Bluefin Tuna

Bluefin Tuna are listed as, endangered
because of illegal fishing, of global fish stocks
as eighty five percent, is unreported and unregulated
Overfishing of our oceans, has to be quickly eliminated

Bluefin are the largest tuna, and can live up to 40 years
and they migrate across oceans, and can dive 40 thousand feet
They are made for speed, and built

Human Predators

A submerged world of emeralds and pearls
coral, fish and snails, swarm in multicolor.
Do they choke in a plastic wrapped shore?
But why should I bother? Why should I care? 
I need money for tomorrow
I need fun of long drives,
Climate Change?..Why should I fear?
From a rocky ocean floor, painted in crimson 
my machines drill out oil, Oh!

Hungry Predators

Rose is beautiful 
                                    protected by thorns
