Creature from the Black Lagoon
(Another simple one. Just conjured a creature in my mind and wrote about it.)
A whimpering
From beneath our feet
Nearly audible
Amidst the city static
A sign that something lives
In the subway depths
A portly form
With matted scales
And tufts of knotted fur
Waddling in the gloom
Widest feet
Stepping with no sound
Narrow ears perk up
Absorbing the noises
Dripping from the grates
Gaining the attention
Of the silver orb
Rimmed with lonely tears
The chubby beast sits
Staring at the surface
Catching glimpses
Of the creatures up above
Until the dying rays of sun
Cause it too much pain
A thick arm raises
Rubbery talons clenched
In fear and nerves
Only to fall at its side
Empty and forlorn
The lonely Lyrox whimpers on
Legends of Windemere 
Very poignant! I’d like to see a movie adapted from it by the same artists who developed Godzilla Minus One.
