...read and tell me what you think? venus fly trap

what is this thing digesting me
does it know i'm still alive?
what did i do? trapped in this ghee
is it an insect or a hive?

i should have had some health insurance
i sigh and watch my health go south
my prison shuts with such endurance
can't tell my friends- no word of mouth

they'll come to this unholy jaw:
& i don't care that they can't see
the nectar's sweet, there is no flaw:
while i eat it, it's eating me


I wrote this while watching a bit about a fly being eaten by a plant about 21:59 minutes into the BBC's Life programme with David Atenborough Season 1 Episode 1. It's called The Challenges Of Life 2009.

I really like it! Very thoughtful, and funny at times. Good work!
 
I have a photo of a fly in the the plants mouth, your poem would go well with my photo if I share it. Can I have your permission? I'll of course point out it's your poem.
