Rhythm poem based of 7 beats and some rhyme.
Blood turtle, revisited
--oo--
I rose my fist gripping tight
the stake of cherry redwood
drove it deep into the chest
of the beast draped in a hood
My blow thunked solidly, thick
Boney plates revealed, chin high
jutting monstrous proud. Flicked
A pink tongue out, lips curled back
Grinned wide. Deliberate licks
Slimed my face, arms, and neckline
l cringed back, turned 'round to flee,
Clawing, wildly, hands out
eyes wide, glassy, and empty
Feet thudding the ground, beast but
Breaths behind! Ravenously
Growling, jaw snapping red, blood
turtle was gravely hungry
