she is poised
before the storm;
yearns for a ripple,
hides incognito:
so calm...

Yes the clam before the storm babe, stood on the edge... in my experience the storm has always been less severe than I anticipated and it has pased leaving a much lighter feeling..
Am here ready to ride the storm with you xxxx

Preditory? Yeah maybe, but more like hiding in the eye of the storm and pretending it's only going to be a ripple ... that's my take anyway
-
yes, like everyone else mentions- very predatorial feel to this piece- creates a chill- glad to find this here..

I agree with Suzanne below...I also get a sense of the preditor waiting to pounch.

Eye of the storm here, and I like that. Settled, but ready to launch. I almost get the sense of a predator in this. Love it when poets do so much with just a few words.
Beautimous.

Poignant piece of writing... "so calm" yet it ripples. Lovely visuals and a sense of serenity here...
