Ocean

A magical place sits and awaits,
Awaiting for its next viewer,
Inside lives tiny creatures shy and nimble,
Quickly swimming across the ocean floor,
Feeding on mysterious plants.

A beast occurs,
Its a ruthless killer,
One with hundreds of razor-sharp teeth,
Truly horrifying,
Lurking within the twilight seas,
Awaiting it’s next victim.

As a scaled creature swims in to the distant and stray waters,
The beast senses the vibrations,
It notices that it’s prey has arrived,
And pounces as quick as a tiger catching a mouse,
The beast has caught its prey.
