We like crocodiles, we like being green. Run online by a group of strange, unhealthy young poets from round the world who are secret supergators at night, The Crocodile likes its poetry fresh and tangy, with a hint of lunacy.
Send us your words, no line limits. We like misfits, vegetarianism, nonsense and saving Patrick Bateman, the ultimate crocodile (no, seriously). We'll take what you got if it's crazy enough for our appetite, and no we don't bite unless you're after our leather. Read up and get writing!

'Colin-Maillard': by Agnes Marton

Quick note:  Thanks for the submissions everyone - keep them coming! We have a vibrant and surreal mix of poems here, from Agnes Marton's vivid dadaist writing to Anthony Adler's reflective poem 'Entropy'. Be inspired, and happy reading!
