An icy death

The forlorn shadows of the troubled leaves danced in the sun’s yellow light,
As water stood placid,
Even with the roar of the winds,
For the top most layer of the water had frozen into dangerously thin ice, 
A crack appeared as a fish hit the layer of ice,
Slowly it all crumbled,
Falling down sharply leading to a fish’s partial demise,
As ice suddenly hit the bottom of the ocean floor,
There came a shark, sea carnivore,
It tore out the fish’s flesh before it could escape,
Blood seeped into the water,
As the fish was consumed whole.
