Majestic Tiger
Majestic Tiger
Calvin L. Genereux
April 5/2010
Walking step by step,
Endless sand lays everywhere,
Cross the desert plane.
Paws scorched from the heat,
His orange fur lays drenched with sweat,
Panting as he walks.
Exhaustion sets in,
Mirage tricking feeble mind,
Claws set for the hunt.
Pouncing through the air,
Finding nothing but sand hills,
Tireless he hunts.
Staring down the sand,
Iron willed and strong in heart,
Never giving up.
Moisture hangs above,
His emerald eyes glint with glee,
Galloping along.
Crashing through the waves,
Water's found now tiger drinks,
Lapping happily.
Lazily he rests,
Darkness crawls as the sun sets,
Sleep now takes its turn.
Day is at its end,
Sleeping on the cooling sand,
Majestic Tiger.
