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unpublished collection titled Docile Fossil.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.

This has such good rhythm that I can imagine it as a jump rope rhyme! Thanks for sharing it, Elaine. Hope you get some rest :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat rhymes!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to have this collection on my shelf someday! (Self-publish!!)
ReplyDeleteMy students would love this poem. They are fascinated by this shark.
