TIGERS AMONG US

Notes
Mystic gods of Pharoah's tombs
Watching through slitted reptilian eyes
Lounging in upholstered jungles and rooms
Stalking fak prey their humans supply.
Deceptively languid, draped with ease,
One slitted eye, one pricked ear raised --
Then off to the chase, swift as the breeze
Demanding respect but never our praise.
Whiskers swept forward, eyes big as orbs
Honing in with precise and deadly intent
The pounce, flash of fangs, razor claws and feline force
The kill complete, the hunter now content.
Purring and kneading on legs and laps
Head-butting, leg-rubbing affectionate yet
Playful, claws-shielded paw on skin taps
Mini tigers we've made our pets.

Mini tigers we've made our pets.
Great way to end it! It's crazy how the same kind of animal can be either a wild beast or a domestic companion. Great poem Claudia!
