James Fraser Poet Rhyme

Tiger Shark

In our oceans and sea's
In climate's warm
Second to one
In it's striped form
 
This predatory shark
Alone in the night
This solitary hunter
With it's razor bite
 
Feasting on fish
Seal's and birds
This creature of nature
Number two in it's world
 
When we enter their domain
Aliens we are
When they attack us humans
We go to far
 
Retribution, is on our minds
To deal with a killing living kind
It's not like they can come on land
But if they did
Would we understand
 
Its blue green body
Yellow underside
Another gem
In nature's pride
Who live and die
In their watery parks
The Tiger Shark

Carolyn Devonshire May 6, 2009 at 7:36 AM Great write about a terrifying creature. They are very common in the Gulf of Mexico and I hate having "encounters" with them. Caught a 15-foot tiger shark once. For nearly half an hour, I was trying to get it to the surface. It was "playing" with me. As soon as I could see it, it barreled forward and stipped my fishing line. Your poem does the tiger shark's predatory nature justice. Excellent work! Love, Carolyn

Michael Jordan May 5, 2009 at 1:51 PM James excellent poem with an excellent point - I find it rather odd that man the greatest killer of all Gods creatures has the arrogance to presume judging another creature for killing when they simply kill to survive - We kill for sport and sadly enough often we just kill to kill with no reason at all - God Bless, mj
