Again, all comments and feedback are welcome and appreciated, grammar especially. I'm new to this... [bodytext] => Unapproachable Grace

She slips with unapproachable grace into the opaque midnight sea.
With her spear in hand she swims blindly.
Gliding confidently through the seaweed netted water,
She goes on a vicious date – one without quarter.

Carefully she chooses her location;
At the place where she knows that it will come.
With unthinking indifference she sets the trap.
The deed… It will soon be done.

In the dark her prey knows only instincts.
It is unsuspecting but feels that something is wrong.
The water has altered from what it used to be;
It’s not as caressing… not nearly as warm.
Ignoring the signs it swims on nonetheless –
it knows her tactics, but its defenses are worthless.

With inconsiderate silence, her point penetrates its chest;
She hews completely, bone and muscle through.
The confused angelfish, leisurely, is carved into two.
One side stares blankly back at the world it pursued,
the other became hidden from sight… unglued.

The trusting angelfish… It slowly becomes no more.
It too now glides with unapproachable grace...
diminishing toward the littered ocean floor.

Unapproachable Grace

She slips with unapproachable grace into the opaque midnight sea.
With her spear in hand she swims blindly.
Gliding confidently through the seaweed netted water,
She goes on a vicious date – one without quarter.

Carefully she chooses her location;
At the place where she knows that it will come.
With unthinking indifference she sets the trap.
The deed… It will soon be done.

In the dark her prey knows only instincts.
It is unsuspecting but feels that something is wrong.
The water has altered from what it used to be;
It’s not as caressing… not nearly as warm.
Ignoring the signs it swims on nonetheless –
it knows her tactics, but its defenses are worthless.

With inconsiderate silence, her point penetrates its chest;
She hews completely, bone and muscle through.
The confused angelfish, leisurely, is carved into two.
One side stares blankly back at the world it pursued,
the other became hidden from sight… unglued.

The trusting angelfish… It slowly becomes no more.
It too now glides with unapproachable grace...
diminishing toward the littered ocean floor.

Great insight- very descriptive.

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time. Please report poetry and or comments that are in breach of our site rules HERE (Please include poem title or url). Parents also please ensure that you supervise your children well when they are on the internet; regardless of what a site says about being, or being considered, child-safe.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
