Notes About The Poem

This was inspired by a photo of Tippi Hedren (Melanie Griffith's mother who had a pet tiger in their home in the sixties. 

Tippis Kitty

Tippi’s kitty is more than a tiny bit intimidating
Most could not bear to be in the room with him
But Tippi knows his heart, and he has a gentle kindness
Toward her and her family, he does not mean to be mean
