Caren Krutsinger Poet Personification

Which Big Cat Am I

I am the biggest and the strongest of all the wild cats.
No I do not live in Africa. Sheesh! Why would you ask that?
You can find me in Southeast Asia, India too.
My cousins in Siberia would really scare you!

I scratch tree trunks to scare other tigers away.
I roam at night, rarely during the day.
I will travel twelve miles to find my prey.
If I told you my pattern, it would give me away.

I am a meat eater, my colors are pretty.
I swim and climb trees, my blind cubs are bitty.
I will kill another male’s cubs if I mate with their mother.
I hunt buffalo, deer and wild pig with my brother.




















I am a Tiger

Jennifer Proxenos November 17, 2019 at 11:38 AM You are a ................seductive tigress! They are magnificent and deadly and dangerous to be close to - if only Africa had them then we could have the Big Six, although in jest, it is said, the sixth one is the mosquito which has caused many deaths in Africa with the malaria virus Great write, loved it. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer. Caren Krutsinger November 18, 2019 at 4:50 AM I cannot imagine seeing one in my yard!

Tom Cunningham November 17, 2019 at 6:00 AM Southeast Asia was the clue and the image came to mind. Seen them on wildlife programmes in India. Beautiful creatures.
