Crocodile's Dancing Delight

She side-steps around the hungry jaws
gaping grin of a crocodile
waiting to clasp her tightly,
hug her into the murky depths.
She floats... stepping
from lily pad to lily pad,
sailing over a crocodile's sly grin,
sash-shaying across pond-tears
like a ghostly shadow:
there but not there,
a miracle walking over water.

His eyes seem closed; but are slightly
cracked...watching her lithe form.
Radiating specks of moon-dust
surround the halo of her shape
as she continues in her mystic dance...
unaware of the jaws of desire
or that her flesh is a crocodile's delight.
She is moonlight and stars, vapor and
winsome light. Dancing beyond him, her lace
is a savory memory. Her moon-beamed flight
leaving the crocodile with his hungry thoughts.

Wonderfully vivid imagery in this - I quite enjoyed the pictures in my mind that you painted here! And I love the unusual subject you chose, as well.

Loved it!

Ivy, it's good to see you here.
I loved this poem, and this part
really stood out.....

She is moonlight and stars, vapor and
winsome light. Dancing beyond him, her lace
is a savory memory

Just beautiful.

Hugs
