A Green Carnivore
/Unlike most plants
that draw substance from soil
the earth is merely your anchor
your appetite is for insects
A carnivore in green disguise
your bellies are goblets
holding venomous nectar
awaiting careless bugs
to wander into your traps
Slowly they dissolve
and turn into nutrients
for you to thrive and flourish
Your pitchers are their tombs
their doom your feast
Such innocent-looking plants
Such an intriguing adaptation
Of nature
