Tiger's Hell
TIGER’S HELL
A tiger has me in his teeth
sunken in my spine so deep
my world is his ,his is mine.
where he goes I go
places I don’t know
and never been
broken bones , torn skin.
no use to cry, no sense to yell
no one leaves tiger’s hell
his sleep is my peace
his death ,my release

I see this tiger, striding
I see this tiger, striding about on his soft paws,
surreptitiously gnawing when you are still,
under the big trees, the heat beating down relentlessly,
the prickly thorns of the bushes digging into you,
the poisonous plants climbing round you,
the dripping jaws of the beast,
holding on tightly
and I shudder.
Well put this good poem.

A grand piece, not sure where it leaves us here as we only have tigers in Zoo's, Sometimes there are Tigers of the mind they are far more dangerous.
Not able to give a way of getting out of their bite, maybe another think creature to make them go, I will lend you one of my Dragons of the mind, they will rid you of all bad creatures,
Yours Ian.T

My Mahout took me on the trails and there did see a tiger and he did see me.
Who was the stronger was it my knowledge and thought or his skill at killing.
Lovely to see you laugh there Joe, I hope, that your mind is strong enough to hold the tigers at bay, I send you My own Great bear to hold your ways in safety, his name is "Shuma" he loves to sleep under a large tree, yet his wisdom will protect you always, Yours Ian.T
