Nette Onclaud Poet Tanka

Notes About The Poem

 

 

Tigress Queen

tigress queen
slithers through moonglow
enthralled by lush wetland’s view

feline eyes guard trails
as gentle roar warms pack’s night
cuddling her cubs with ardor

yet ready to slay huntsmen
when nature’s fairness,   defied

Judy Ball March 7, 2019 at 12:03 PM Wonderful job Nette. Love the beautiful pic. So perfect for this piece. Tigers are so regal and I hate the way they are hunted for their beautiful skin. Love this. God Bless, JB
