Kai Michael Neumann Poet Rhyme

No Tigers Home In Africa

No Tigers At Home In Africa 


Walking my tiger home alone I’m sure walking at last

home from home and beyond when I travel too fast

In Istanbul Hamburg St. Davids I gather my themes

full of life love creatures and poetry that redeems

Wild cats pussyfooting around mosques rivers’ cave

roaring of passion lightening loads that others enslave

Museums parks costal paths wild sun-blessed beaches

lagoons mountains orchards and metaphorical peaches

I make up the tiger in my mind as I go along persevere

sabre teeth drooling whiskers to magical eyes I adhere

With no leash and no collar no prescriptions restraints

I enter a world that matters swishes swirls and paints

Imagination mystical fantasy dreams aspirations and hope

all live in my tiger prism escape and have unlimited scope

I condense and reflect diverge ramble think and I feel

whether I walk the tiger or the lion is no real big deal

I contest the notion that reality exists has only one truth

form constraint rules regulation dogma I distract from to sooth 

There fore in my writing life verse and poetry ends unshackled

by resting my tiger lion meter and rhyme freed but not tackled
