when reading poetry
we absolutely adore
unexpected images
exploding into exquisite
expressions depicting defining
emotive human feeling
Bengal tigers
race across pages
through jungles
mind steaming
messages exotic
stripes hiding
hidden dangers
hunger spicing
hunted meals
Bengal tigers
hold mystic images
incorporating
purpose power grace
innate survival cunning
predatory intelligence
dignity strength speed
leaps separating boundaries
stealth silent strides
ephemeral killers
apex invisible shadows
ambush hunters
Bengal tigers
hold mystic images
power grace intelligence
dignity strength speed
preys camouflage cunning
killing ground selecting
prey meal ready to ignore
silent unseen stealth disappear
or swift into motion explode
hunt with precision efficiency
devastating speed burst ability
disappearing into topography
symmetry cloaked invisibility
destined due to skills prey tracing
to mastery language predatory
to swallow hunted intellect
carnivore savours love at first bite
with an appreciative appetite
