Venus Flytrap
She thinks I will get lost in her bog.
I gather peat moss and leave.
A muddy encounter.
She wants me to visit her garden.
I wave from the highway.
A technical move.
She hopes I will walk into her rage.
I am the trigger, not the meal.
A cricket’s adieu.
She tells me she wants stillness.
She is waiting for meat.
A carnivorous heart.

I am rooting for the cricket all the way!
quite descriptive

…how she’s ready to pounce
I love the carnivorous heart. It’s beautiful!
Great images, effectively conveys the dance between the would-be predator and prey
Nice build-up!
Bravo!
Love it!
