The Timorous Tigress

Contributed by Ambivalence on Wednesday, 6th August 2008 @ 04:13:32 AM in AEST
Topic: StoryPoetry

Waiting and waiting, she hears no thin sound.
Then, out in thick forest, she seeks new ground
for a devoted mate she had never found.

She leaves behind her starved cubs in the den.
The return for their mom…quite uncertain.
Grudgingly, she does this for her children.

Dashing and dashing through air of green grass,
her pace unhindered, lest her life might pass
by, for tigers who hunger, hunt, and harass.

Then, while encroaching, a forbidden foul,
she suddenly hears an ominous growl,
but she does not throw in the towel.

Louder and louder, closer and closer,
she stumbles face to face with a tiger
glaring at her, a relative and stranger.

Sitting still, her heart pumps and her pulses pound.
One last time, she pictures her cubs heeding no sound
fearing they will never again see their mother around.

This is nicely written and could be a metaphor for what many mothers go through in the world today. Well done.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
