Tiger In Aries

Tiger in Aries (acrostic)

Tiger mighty one are you
In deep shadows you lie
Great king of the jungle
Enjoying your slumber
Roaring out your anger

In fury when disturbed
Not a single leaf moves

As you stalk your prey
Ready now for a kill
Icy cold is your glare
Eyes brightly shining as
Silently you eat your fill

finally seeing your comment you wrote to me on my comment to you a while back down here. I don't think I need to beware of sheep since it's my own chinese zodiac. All the people I meet with that sign are very sweet! Interesting about what the Romans did with the calender. yes, it seems so unnatural to change it the way they did!!

such an interesting subject to research especially when you bring the Romans into it. Yet it is as true now as it was all those years ago hugs

At first I thought maybe Tiger Woods was being unfaithful again.

oh, how awesome. I was reading below how you told someone that you incorporated your chinese zodiac with astrology sign. That is a clever idea. I sure love astrology poems. So...... I could be a sheepish Virgo for MINE. hahaha.

careful of sheep Andrea they are the Ides of March's sacrifice I wish to read your poetry for years to come. It has always struck me as strange that we did not keep New Year as March the Romans started the calendar with March which makes sense to me as Spring is the beginning while Winter when we now hold NYE is right in the middle of the sleep / death cycle ty for enjoying hugs

poetry I feel has two purposes the main one to hopefully enchant the reader the other to be inspired and anything you like goes. I think from seeing your comments around the site you have an excellent understanding of good poetry I will treasure your comment ty hugs
