tiger in my closeta tiger crept into my closet today
it happened at three pm. while I was away
she was silent but hungry, wanting some meat
messed up my closet, put two shoes on her feet
I woke up at a quarter past two
saw her stealing my tennis shoes blue
shut my eyes tight and pretended to sleep
did not make a sound,...

tigers in Bandhavgarh National ForestFifty wild tigers roaming around
In an underground cave I never found
Calling Bandhavgarh National Forest their home
A place I hope to never get lost in or roam...

the silly tigerOnce a tiger ate a clown,
then wondered from town to town.
in her lace frock frilly,
she acted so silly,
and never once wore a frown.

CRIMSON SKYPrompt :"A crimson sky breaks the distant shore"

CRIMSON SKY
A crimson Sky breaks the distant shore
stargates opened veils upon veils
portals portending lyrical lemon drops
or so it seemed
since senses were lost
in open labyrinth lots
angels poured purple pearls
lacing comely camomile into timeless space
I heard old lions...

TigerOh dear feline, with compassion like mine.
Oh long claws, etched in your paws.
How dare would someone like me, compare to such entity as you.
Black, Orange and White, only such colors, would suit your being.
Jump so elegant, I dare not say a thing.
The Lion may be the king, but you can be the queen.

Flare For PoetryA sunset at sea,
clouds resemble sweet roses.
Waves swell with passion.
That smell of cut grass,
go for a run right through it.
You’re a child again.
A slight taste of salt
from tumbling in the ocean,
just a dash burns lips.
The sound of a roar
before you can see a thing,
You’re on high alert.
My Muse is easy...

Not Much of a ChoiceCooper was a large and curious tiger, the bright star of a motley circus,
Always out of step with others; like erring moon, of dawn skies, citrus.
He was well fed and got lots of attention, like rave days of mist roses,
When silver moments tell true stories, before the latterly hour closes.
Whenever other tigers went left, Cooper...

Facing a Siberian TigerSiberian tiger, striped, brave and strong
She covered my entire car, ten feet long
Six hundred and sixty pounds turned and stared me down
I ran until I reached the edge of the very next large town
You were never in danger, a voice said in my head.
He’s just a big pussy, a pet of your weird old neighbor...

With everything you do
And you can do most anything
That you put your mind to

A tiger through and through
And to top it off you're gorgeous
There's no one else like you...

Captain Miller : The First Black TigerIn the shadowed dawn of distant days,
Where echoes whispered of lost ways,
There stood a name, etched deep in lore,
Captain Miller, amidst the roar.
A soldier forged from fire and flame,
Bound to cause, beyond mere name,
With eyes that held grief and pride,
For lands and lives, for those who died.
Steel and sorrow marked his path,
Through broken fields, through...

Stripes of NightWith claws like daggers, sharp and keen,
the tiger moves a silent machine.
Its strength unmatched, a force of might,
a hunter born in the fading light.
With senses keen, it hears the faintest sound,
a whisper of wind on the parched ground.
A burst of speed, a blur of orange fire,
the tiger strikes, fulfilling its desire.

Ten foot long from fat tail to fatter neck
Weighing six hundred and sixty pounds, bigger than four human beings

Vellupillai Prabahakaran: The True Tamil TigerBeneath the trees, a tale of a Tamil revolutionary,
As in history of tamils, the people viewed him as a legendary luminary.
'Thalaivar' the title he was given,
As his reputation was on a different level, when he was living.
Through fields of war, he engraved his name,
In a country torn by sorrow and pain.
As a sense of anger...
