Notes About The Poem

This poem was written with the inspiration of one of my favourite Indian movies, Life Of Pi and the contest here about tiger living free.

A Song of a Tiger Living Free

Ample vicissitudes we both had faced after the blood-curdling shipwreck while on voyage trapped in a warren, dreams sailed in a haze my young master bravely tamed me for his advantage I became his bosom friend, worth not to put back in a cage. Young master, what a strong faith you had! despite the danger you didn’t give up you had the power, a gift unparalleled to any other lad to commiserate a beast was not your mishap nature’s realm was exalted by your heart to the top. While the wave-tracks lead to uncertainties, life-boat drifted along the sea in misery you felt at ease with me despite your difficulties as fishes miraculously abounded, I fed myself happily believing that you were the best angler who did all things for me. I hummed a song in a long journey of anguish on our way awaited all the scorching hassles the gale of storm flogged once more its piece mysterious island beckoned with its ostentatious obstacles but, your courage and prayers walked over all troubles finally, I found my lair through your ardent struggles.

I've seen the movie. It's absolutely gorgeous. What a great idea you had to use the theme of that movie in your poem. When the tiger finds his freedom on land, it's farewell to the boy who did so much to help the tiger!! Good luck in the contest. I know it will do well!
