Gary Smith Poet Rhyme

A Fabulous Beast

I met a fabulous beast today,
I met him in a zoo.
I was looking at a tiger,
And he was looking too.

Such strength and dreadful power
He carried with such grace,
And there he was behind the glass
And we were face to face.

A beast of such nobility
A king was what I saw,
So full of menacing presence
I felt rooted to the floor.

He fixed his eyes upon me
With a cold and murderous stare.
I'm glad that I was over here,
And he was over there.

Once he was the ruler,
The lord of all was he. 
And now he's here, trapped in this pen.
A prisoner, is what I see.
