A single eye set in stone
articulate observation
never missing anything
piercing penetration
with each ridge of scales
optic functions enabled
pebbled skin camouflaged
for its foes to be disabled
with its brown pupilled stare
raised up to see clearly
this awesome predator
that hunts so cleverly
an art work in the making
each scale a miniature stone
blending in with nature
it hides and hunts alone.
a blink and you'll miss it
speed so formidable
the ambush has been set
a fight is inevitable
