Evolution

[kittypaws]

Just like the tortoise
Retracting into its armor
I seek protection,
From your offensive ways.

Much akin to the coiled snake
Resting in the shade of the elm
I will bide my time;
Then hiss out and strike you down.

Evolution.
An ape arises,
Scratches his arm pit
Sniffs the breeze
Snorts, stares
and leaves.

Simple and sweet - and perfect

It looks like he is a real ape she must seek protection from in her armour... nicely put, kittypaw.

[hillwalker]

One of your more hard-hitting pieces. Powerful yet also admirably restrained.

I would change arises to rises. I agree with everyone too Kitty. Short and powerful.

Particularly loved the final stanza Kitty. Well done.
