A Poem about the Megalodon

I’ve already posted a number of poems from my unpublished collection titled Docile Fossil. Here’s another poem from that manuscript. I wrote it as a definition of the biggest prehistoric shark that ever lived—the Megalodon.

Megalodon: A Poetic Definition

Megalodon, Megalodon:

A giant-jawed phenomenon

Much bigger than a mastodon,

A predatory paragon,

A monster shark that preyed upon

Dolphins, whales…a beast of brawn—

The mightiest biter of the deep

Who’s gone to his eternal sleep.
