EEL

Twitching
Dark
Wet
Unholy

Writhing ghoul
Waits
Hangs in the valley
Unnoticed

Cut from sludge
Rasping slowly
Sucks on mud
In a buttery moon

Undulating line
Ocean navigator
Thuds my rubber boot
Decay eater

Thin and rude
No winter too hard
No pool too lonely
For eel

Certificate U
Collection 1 Hanratty - Spring 2006 Poetry
Romance
