Flare For PoetryA sunset at sea,
clouds resemble sweet roses.
Waves swell with passion.
That smell of cut grass,
go for a run right through it.
You’re a child again.
A slight taste of salt
from tumbling in the ocean,
just a dash burns lips.
The sound of a roar
before you can see a thing,
You’re on high alert.
My Muse is easy...

Not Much of a ChoiceCooper was a large and curious tiger, the bright star of a motley circus,
Always out of step with others; like erring moon, of dawn skies, citrus.
He was well fed and got lots of attention, like rave days of mist roses,
When silver moments tell true stories, before the latterly hour closes.
Whenever other tigers went left, Cooper...

Facing a Siberian TigerSiberian tiger, striped, brave and strong
She covered my entire car, ten feet long
Six hundred and sixty pounds turned and stared me down
I ran until I reached the edge of the very next large town
You were never in danger, a voice said in my head.
He’s just a big pussy, a pet of your weird old neighbor...

With everything you do
And you can do most anything
That you put your mind to

A tiger through and through
And to top it off you're gorgeous
There's no one else like you...

Captain Miller : The First Black TigerIn the shadowed dawn of distant days,
Where echoes whispered of lost ways,
There stood a name, etched deep in lore,
Captain Miller, amidst the roar.
A soldier forged from fire and flame,
Bound to cause, beyond mere name,
With eyes that held grief and pride,
For lands and lives, for those who died.
Steel and sorrow marked his path,
Through broken fields, through...

Stripes of NightWith claws like daggers, sharp and keen,
the tiger moves a silent machine.
Its strength unmatched, a force of might,
a hunter born in the fading light.
With senses keen, it hears the faintest sound,
a whisper of wind on the parched ground.
A burst of speed, a blur of orange fire,
the tiger strikes, fulfilling its desire.

Ten foot long from fat tail to fatter neck
Weighing six hundred and sixty pounds, bigger than four human beings

Vellupillai Prabahakaran: The True Tamil TigerBeneath the trees, a tale of a Tamil revolutionary,
As in history of tamils, the people viewed him as a legendary luminary.
'Thalaivar' the title he was given,
As his reputation was on a different level, when he was living.
Through fields of war, he engraved his name,
In a country torn by sorrow and pain.
As a sense of anger...

A Beast from a Forgotten LandIn the jungle's heart, where shadows and spirits blend,
A silent hunter, a forest's friend.
Stripes of amber, black and gold,
The tale of power, courage and bold.
Its eyes burn bright, flaming hue,
Reflecting the skies of cerulean blue.
Its claws are like a silver, steel sword,
As it rules the jungle as its legendary lord.
Its roar splits heaven and hell,
As...

Fluttered limbs impossible grace
Floating form the unreal flight
Shelves of air on feathers

Cyber Tiger
Thursday is turkey.
That's always a fave.
So, onto black Friday.
A seventytwo hour craze.
Then cyber tiger.
Buyers on waves.
Flight on a red eye.
I was close to malaise.
But, dontcha just love'em.
Cause it's the holidays.

Inevitable fate of a HeThe cock also sweat
Sweating beneath the undaunted hair
Though unseen, untethered
Unnoticed yet vulnerable.
The male lion also weep
Weeping gently and silently
With insignificant traces
Though galloping and parading
In confidence which left creatures
Marvelled and tender.
The virile also feels
They also go through pains
Pains seen and unseen
Though eye catching faces
And beautiful faces are worn over
Should the Bull...
