Tigers Poems - Poems about Tigers

Tigers Tall

Tigers in the tall grass.
Bruins in the buckwheat.
Sirens, sing of sassafras!
Eagles, time to eat...

Linger, O my looking-glass...
Red run in reply.
Languid liquor, poison gas!
Death, glance at me sly...

Frankincense burned on the tomb?
Ashes, coat the walls.
Belladonna, how you bloom!
Funeral, how ye palls!

Pyramid, best to get rid?
Gold on rim, crater?
Hell and Heaven, hid or bid?
Only if you're sure!

Wind,

tigers in Bandhavgarh National Forest

Fifty wild tigers roaming around
In an underground cave I never found
Calling Bandhavgarh National Forest their home
A place I hope to never get lost in or roam

Paper Tigers

Some go 
through life
in a sophomoric
zone

Knowing about
strangers
while being 
alone

To ever 
quote names
or that face
in the crowd

Aggrandizing
self
as their folly
— astounds

Captain Miller : The First Black Tiger

In 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

Tigers in the Light

Tigers slowly prowl into extinction.
The last rare
undiscovered, unnamed bug
dies
- a million years of conscious gravity
departs for other realms.

Energy shifts, it is more volatile than fire,
more expansive than any sky,
Energy; you and I,
we may wish it,
but it can never die.

Somewhere a tiger and a bug
become a multiple reality,
alternative parallels
that renew what we deemed lost.

Suchness happens.

Tigers Pounce On Their Prey

Tigers are the biggest cat in the wild 
They love to pounce on their prey.
They lunge at animals' necks.
With their powerful jaws they hold on tight.

They pounce on and attack
Deer, wild boar and baby elephants.
When ill or injured, they will kill people
They can't catch their normal prey.

Tigers are known to hunt from dusk until dawn

Painting Tigers Turquoise

King wanted tigers, but he did not want them yellow
He was an incredibly self-absorbed, picky little fellow.
I want my tigers to be turquoise, he said, lead them to the paint.
They got tipped and dunked, and a few of them did faint.

The baby tigers did better than the older ones, so those he kept.
He moved all

Canadian Broadcasting Corperation

Not so TREU, will monopolise through and though
It will be better, if you could forget about your
And the long two weeks' that broke who..?
Maybe me? Or you? What can people do?
Well Gandi did peaceful non compliance i'll bet
That reality is not being taught to children today
By sociialist teaching and their doctrinal apprentice's 
Or you can

Thru the Eyes of a Child

Thru the eyes of a child where newness abounds,
the magical lure of the merry go round..
It's piped in repetitious sound entices
spectators all around..
"Choose your seat" says a ticketer at the gate.
Large steel poles anchor in the animals fate.
Painted horses methodically go up and down
with hoofs that never meet the ground..
Mermaids, tigers, and other beasts, co-exist
here,

Tigers Teeth

The 
lamb
rises
the water
cleanses tiger’s teeth
war in my soul it rages on

She Dared the Tigers

Daring the tigers to toss her aside
To flay her open, and eat her hide
She sat prissily and primly, happily too.
Planning to take these tigers out of the zoo.

The tigers got wind of it and threw her over the wall.
They liked not having to hunt dinner, tiny rabbits so small.
They were spoiled and happy, their dinner

In the Land Where the Bears and Tigers Sleep

In the land where the bears and tigers sleep
Rests the man whom I had once called brother,
And he climbed over his mountains so steep.

We snuck under the warm blankets so deep
To hear bedtime stories from our mother
In the land where the bears and tigers sleep.

The boy grew into a man with a leap—
He knew there

Paper Tigers

"Paper Tigers"



eyes mark slow time
spotting leopard rhyme
never changing its spots
black balled
white pops
the want-to-be bees
sting the dripping honey spot

slapping cards down
kitty pots are shuffled
bluffing intelligentsia
between the gaps
flatulent poets floss their teeth
waxing lyrical strings
tied to the weary mirrored soliloquy

cheap conversations 
like thin cotton threads
on a spinning wheel reeled in
marked inconsequentially
by small thimbles worn as armour
pricks blood from

The Tigers Cage

Freedom comes packaged
entrapped and confined

How big is your cage, 
 to roam and define

Always constricted,
with borders that move

Its bars of detention
—forever reproved

Female Tigers

Nothing more dangerous than a tiger mama
We discovered this as we watched them taking a dip
One crowded another's baby and the fight was on
No warning. Just one loud roar.
There was snarling and biting, ripping and snapping
The male tigers ran to the comfort of the rocks
Scared of their women
