A fronte praecipitium a tergo lupi. (In front of you, a precipice. Behind you, wolves.)

National Poetry Month--Day 23--Poetweet--Sharks



Today it's a 280 character poetweet poem. If you're wondering about this form, go here. Otherwise, here's my offering:


Your predatory grin
Your dandy-looking fin
The form so sleek and thin
All don’t help when teeth sink in.
You think you’re something slick
When you chomp your victim—Ick!
But the streamlined way you flick
Through the water splickety-lick
Only strikes my heart with fear
When you draw near.
