Watching.
It was watching.
This large creature, looming in the shadows
Had a spiteful look.
Eyes like reddish mirrors in the dark,
Two black horns.
Twisting and turning, they stood up high on its skull.
The creature hissed and opened its mouth,
Revealing rows upon rows of sharp teeth stained red with blood.
It was watching.
Glowing reflections in its red eyes,
And roaring fire in its heart.
The creature, with its slimy skin,
Looked almost like a whale with four legs.
Its tail had a metallic fin, split into two,
Read the rest of the poem Show less
Its edges sharp and stiff like a blade.
It was watching.
Prey.
The creature smirked, hate in its eyes.
Revenge at last.
It flicked its heavy tail down, waiting and waiting.
It crouched down, its eyes watching.
Its prey was reflected on the creature's mirrorlike eyes.
The creature was waiting,
Waiting for the right time.
To
Strike.
It leaped with powerful legs.
Its claws dug deep into the flesh of its prey.
Warm blood.
It let out an ear-piercing screech
And bit down
Into the human prey.
She had no time.
No time to scream,
No time to run,
Before it swallowed her.
And her body was reclaimed.
She screeched.
Another creature.
A replica,
And the original started to peel away
As her skin became its skin
And her face became its face.
It roared again.
It was watching.

"Divided We Stand " by @Shelby Pryor
"You have a typo at Youjust don't get it. Also there are some double spaces. Aside from the formatting, it's a good poem! I agree with the message. Even if other people's opinions are different, they still deserve love." -

"Difference " by @Johnny Two Birds
"It's kind of hypnotic, and your rhythm is good! I feel like the stanzas don't have much to do with each other, though. What do you mean by nothing can ever be the same? Very interesting." -
