Predator Cutting through the waves At extreme speed Swiftly, with sharp teeth Satisfying its need. I push deeper down stream Trying to see what's there Sweating with every step Trying not to be scared I step into the water I can feel the coldness up to my knees For the predator is drawing close My legs are the only thing it sees. It fixes its beady eyes upon my fragile toes When my feet splash that is where it's lead But when I feel a bite and then a tug It seems it is the hunter that is being hunted instead.........
