Dragon

Do not mistake
my softness for clay,
for I am the beast
and you are the prey

This reminds me of the angler fish. It appears to show weakness, falsely, with a fake lure. Only to end up the hunter, eating the prey. I enjoyed your poem. Thanks for sharing.

[Gaia Octavia]

Thank you, I am glad you enjoyed it. An angler fish is a GREAT IDEA for inspiring a piece w an enormous potential for amazing imagery👍

[Great Aunt Astri]

Well, at least she is warning him. Some just pounce out of the blue! Very clever four lines, and with rhymes.

[Gaia Octavia]

Why, thank you very much. I do love rhymes and such 🤓🤓

[Tony Jordan]

I love that you included 'warning' in your tags for the poem. I read something like this about static IP addresses and it left me unimpressed but this is sharper.

[Gaia Octavia]

Sharper indeed 😉 Thank you for your review.

[Zugzwang]

Four lines of killer verse. Loved the rhyme, but the structure stole the show for me. Such fun to read aloud. Poetry with claws.

[Gaia Octavia]

Thank you, as usual, for your kind review.

Let not the mask deceive the mind,
Beware the beast that lurks behind!

Well done!

[Gaia Octavia]

Thank you very much 😀 Where is that from?

[emipoemi]

it's an original.....wanted to say something in response to the poem, and that's what came out.

[Gaia Octavia]

I love it 😎👍
