Such a sad outlook on the happy tiger- what you say though, is sadly all too true- which brings me to my Haiku- our leaders will continue to pollute the world with espionage and oil spills. Armageddon will stop it, finally. But every time I use the word `Heaven` in a poem (as I wanted to do in` the last supper`) I obviously insult more than a few people- How else can I explain my (only)2 comments on my poem `Heaven and Earth`? there are other ones also :^{

Such a beautiful animal, i agree with Andrea. I have noticed that so many good poems are beaten by lesser ones. But i suppose its down to the judges eyes and thoughts > have a lovely Sunday >> James

Yes, it makes me feel sorry with these tigers! And they are still hunted for their fur, a real shame! Nice picture you drew here, Carolyn and good luck in the contest...Thanky for your comments and have a great weekend...Love, Gert
