Will have to agree with the rest. Last stanza needs fixing. I ain't a great fan of politics and war... but I think, in my opinion, you have painted quite a picture. Bones for breakfast!

Good work. You got me going till the end. I thought that this would be just some stuff written only to fill a page , ie. when I saw the length.... but you pulled it through. pretty interesting.

The three legged monster with a large stringy mouth..... I take you you haven't had very good experiences with the Piano. Good description of it though!

ecargo, somehow you're good. I get a taste of negativity or pessimism from your poems often, which generally I don't really like..... but somehow you have stuff that brings me back to read more of your work. Quite a bit of imagination too....

"Primrose passion" bugs me, but the rest is pretty good.

I love it. My only suggestions: "it's" (line 3) should be "its"; and delete the period after laugh and lowercase "blew" (run-in), since it's modified by "breeze". Small stuff.

Well the crocodiles do it to project a sort of pleasent ambience towards the local plover population, whereas the whales do it to ensure the general marketability of such film franchises as 'Free Willy'.

Another demand of said talk is to point out that both whales and crocodiles have that cute turn-up smile at their mouth corners, showing happiness, but for different reasons.

Sorry, I thought it was the adopted 'ranker spelling. We ought to have a 'seafood dictionary' on here just for reference.
And while we're on the Wales jokes, it's time for the mandatory terrible pun. 'Why is Wales so wet? Because of all the leeks.'
In normal circumstances I would have avoided saying that at all costs. But all this talk of crocodiles, whales, prawn(e)s and Wales demands it.

Yeah, I was thinking more along the lines of Camus though, as I'm assuming that's where our Prince of Void was drawing his inspiration from.
All that 'absurdity' nonsense. Tch.

Interesting you spell "prawne" the way DA does. Oh, I forgot, you're from whales, I mean Wales.

From Homer, Sisyphus was the wisest and most prudent of mortals because he rolled a stone up a hill only to watch it roll back down. But I think Homer was wrong because by that standard, the writing of poetry wiser and more prudent.

And besides, the crocodile/whale conflict has been going on for thousands of years now in oceans and rivers across the globe. If it stopped now the philosophers would be out of employment.
