Notes About The Poem

A Dangerous Following

Tiger’s carriage supine
excepting you and me
come alongside the cool waters
of eternity.

Tiger’s claws dally in the homemade stream.
The zoo has a dangerous following.

Fresh and clean,
our cheeks lean
into the Tiger’s beverage.

Tiger’s tongue, sanguine,
wagging of thirst —
welcoming.

Judy Ball March 3, 2021 at 4:49 PM I love tigers. They are so beautiful. However we must remember that we can take the tiger out of the jungle but you can't take the jungle out of the cat. Great job here and a beautiful picture. God Bless, JB Kim Rodrigues March 3, 2021 at 8:08 PM Love your comment! Thanks, Judy!
