Alligator Bait

Shadows softly creep beneath a murky brown on alligator feet. Primal urges vicious rise; a lone crane hunting fish quickly flies.


Birds of the forest come now hush, water lilies sink whole beneath the crush. Frogs leap and hurriedly scatter; by luck, perchance gone missing from the gators platter.
