Earl Schumacker Poet Verse

Tiger Tableau

Tiger Tableau

Six shots rang out loud
Woke the jungle calm
My trained tiger hit
Landed on me hard
Good thing I am fat
We both could have died

It seems like every time I bat an eye someone is inventing a new poetry form. This is my 1st. attempt at this style. I'm glad you liked it. I appreciate your comments. Have a pleasant day. Take care. Earl

Casarah Nance October 16, 2014 at 7:24 AM That is different! I applaud your uniqueness, that is awesome. I wouldn't know what to do if my pet tiger got shot! I guess I don't have a pet tiger though, so I don't have to worry about it. :) Earl Schumacker October 16, 2014 at 9:46 AM Hi Casarah, Thank you so much. I'm glad you liked it. I had to gain some extra weight for the occasion....after all....he is my favorite tiger. He is fine now. Only 2 bullets hit him in non-vital spots and he had a soft landing. Have a great day. Take care. Earl
