Hi all,

I'd like to nomination Snow's poem, Survival. A must read, the revisions really make the subject matter stand out even more and the smooth rhythms and rhymes are on! hsdance.gif

Good luck!

Survival

I wait … ensconced in my umbrageous hide
as unsuspecting creatures forage near.
My escalating hunger can’t subside;
their odours saturate the atmosphere.

Vibrations stir the undergrowth – I smell
a rat through flicking tongue and lie stock-still,
disguised in leaves. Anticipation swells;
unfocused vision won’t impede my skill.

Strike! … I quickly coil around him; death's
embrace, his limbs grow limp. Deprived of claws,
I seize head-on and taste his final breath,
while peristalsis draws him through my jaws.

Engorged, I glide towards my hiding place
where shadows camouflage from passing beast;
assailable I curl, yet heed them pace
nearby, as I digest this rodent feast.

Snow - it looks like your poem will be representing MM as a solo effort as there were no other noms.

I wish you all the best in the comp!

Oh Yikes - all on my own! Thanks for the nomination Lori - let's hope the judge appreciates R&M.
I've checked over it and I think my revisions are finished.

Live one day at a time -it's simpler that way.
Laugh loud & often - it's medicinal.
Write from the heart - it's therapeutic.
Beauty comes from within - the outer is just skin!
