Hi Anne Lise, Thank you so much. 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

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. :)

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
