Venus Fly Trap

By Alchemist

She sits there                                             : ...                
Such a sly casual grin                                    :            %
Venus wallowing in sunshine               . . :                         
Organic               (        !   Teeth         :
Mouth                                 ( %   )    %
Open                             %
WIde                       (       !      !    )
Ajar                         Petals bite
A fly in the ointment dying
Is just a pace of life
Beguilling  
Flirting
Sweet
Lore
prey
Rest
Poison
Desolves 
And beauty
Opens again
For a new dinner
Disgustingly
Charming
Scent
Lure
Trap
Bait
The kill
Nectar
Close
Fangs
Fate is
A sexy
Death
Of an annoying pest......................%..................%..%..........................

    Completely agree with Dwellas. Though few words, your choice of diction and fragmented style lended itself to a great description of this predator, congrats man.

  • A former member wrote: This is great. I liked the structure, and I had to smile at it as I read through the poem. A sexy death, indeed
