Bengal Tigers Stealth Silent Hunters Poem by Terence George Craddock

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
