dVerse Poets

by rugby843, posted in Uncategorized

For today’s prompt, let’s write about sharks. You may choose to include them in your poem however you wish. Perhaps you’re in debt to a loan shark (I hope not), maybe in a past life you were a card shark, or maybe you love the movie, Jaws. Just use the word shark somewhere in your poem.
For extra credit, you may choose to write an ode to your shark subject: “A formal, often ceremonious lyric poem that addresses and often celebrates a person, place, thing, or idea.” This is not mandatory.
If you’re new, here is how to join us:

***

here he comes with that awful smile

teeth displayed for at least a mile

friendly he’s not, likes to swat

you off your board, fly into the surf

where he can claim it’s his turf

then dips you up and sometimes down

intended not to make you drown,

but a plaything he’ll devour

when it’s time for his dinner hour.

Ode to a Shark
