Deep below the canopy
(Far too deep for one to see)
Wandered wee miss Margary.

Miles from home and out of sight,
(Growing fearful in her plight)
Die out here, she thought she might.

Dangers known, and known quite well,
(She heard many townsfolk tell)
Her forecast was far from swell.

A brush of wind felt on her cheek,
(Suddenly she felt quite meek)
Both her knees grew quickly weak.

It came fully unannounced,
(Height and features quite pronounced)
Her prey altogether trounced.

Lifting Margary with her tail,
(Struggling to no avail)
Carefully, since she was frail.


Her scales were green, much like her eyes,
(Each of which could see through lies)
Both gleaming at her tasty prize.

Held so high, she couldn't bear,
(Jump from here, she wouldn't dare)
Transfixed by her emerald stare.

Giant mouth parted like a door,
(A peak at what was in store)
Into it her eyes did bore.

Her eyes began to shimmer,
(Deciding this match's winner)
As her fate grew ever dimmer.

Placed on a tongue wet and greedy,
(And, to add, indeed quite needy)
Margary's eyes went small and beady.

Petrified in fearful horror,
(Entire body now quite sorer)
Certain death faced this explorer.


Cage now closed with her inside,
(Chances of escape denied)
Forced onto a one-way ride.

Saliva coated her face,
(A now digestible case)
Frightened heart began to race.

Towards her throat the tongue did thrust,
(At this, Margary cussed)
Its strength surprisingly robust.

Soon to be a gooey pulp
(A common end to many folk)
Our story ends with a final *gulp*
It's finally done ^^
I had no idea it would be this long xD I was expecting to finish it in one night, but I really didn't see it becoming 2 1/2 pages o.o

This will be my first submission to DA, and, invariably, my first submission to the Felarya group. I hope you like it, and I also hope to be writing more in the future!
