Salty Tears: Teaser

Within the salt lake of what you will see

A lake of small, connected, little seas

Beneath the wake grows tall stalks of kelp

Sturdy and strong like bamboo, you can rest on one for help

The horses and dragons below the water click

Run away from the anomalocaris, quick

Isopods that are the size of small dogs

They eat away at the lake bottom, feasting on fallen logs

Lobsters, clams, fish, and shrimp all abundantly well

Be wary of the clicking and drumming, they are those that break the shells

The dragons will lie ashore, pouches push water over their gills to breathe air

The anomalocaris flies through sky just as it does in water, hide in shelter, take care

Author's notes: If You enjoyed this teaser of a poem, its original inspiration has now been published and entered into Christopher Paolini's Fantasy Fiction Challenge. I hope You enjoy it.

Sincerely,
