Extinct

An alligator worked out it's top of the food chain
He hid in the swampy rivers and reeds in the rain
Silent and still waiting for its prey
Along swam a crocodile with no fear today

The gator approached the croc but the croc didn't care
His body was hid but his eyes were aware
When the gator reached the croc they both just stared
The croc said you look like me my dear
Yet you are smaller so I guess my ancestors lived around here

The gator and the croc exchanged views
Twisting and swimming for some more identifiable clues
The croc asked the gator if he was going to move
The gator said no and the croc was confused

The gator smiled as his eyes blinked
The croc asked why the gator winked
The gator said his brothers have surrounded them and the croc will get eaten
The croc just smiled and replied "well man is over there on the shore so I guess now we'll all be extinct"

Predator

I look for my prey. Chest heaving. Heart pumping. The dark colours of the plants boar me. I need the colour of prey, of food. I need the red of heat. The hairs on my back stand up grey and long.

Polar Bear

A print in the snow. The hunters first clue. The hunters first clue,. To hunting down you. A print in the snow. Quite big and quite fresh. The hunters first clue. That led into the this mess.

The Howling

Through the darkness, I see no path, The moon's betrayal blinds my eyes, And grasping hands from forest trees, Tear my skin despite all my cries.

A Lone Wolf.

I've been running as a wolf, And I've been running for so long, Myself my only company, My howl: my mournful song.

Spider To The Fly

"There's a message in there somewhere", said the spider to the fly. He always liked a chat before he ate. "Don't be sad now fella, it's a shame to see you cry. Who are we to judge the hand of fate?".

Moth Dance.

A moth drawn to the flame, A flicker in the dark, A heady combination, A teasing, taunting spark.

Watership Down Under

It was sticky in the bush, for Pablo and his mates. Bouncing around with the kangaroos and challenging turtles to race. Now things where pretty bonza, for Pablo, Mixxy and Titch.

A Bitter End

In the park at night I trod, Nothing about this night is odd, The sky is an abyss of black, The theives must have stolen the stars and trapped them in a sack.
