terror

You've been marooned inside a place
with long, and gaunt glass walls.
An eerie silence fills the air
excepting soft footfalls.
You dare to peer up towards the top,
and find it quite concealed,
with very strange and daunting plants
that mother nature yields.
But then is heard a ruckus
from the apex of this prison,
and from a gloomy patch of leaves,
a monster has now risen.
The taper of its slender back
gives way to horrid head,
with eyes of a primeval flame
reflecting fear and dread.
The beast slowly approaches you,
and leaping from the thicket,
they end the short and tepid life
of one lizard feeding cricket.
