    White Tiger

    Stealthily prowling through the tundra of night

    With a pelt as white as a pale, foggy sky.

    Black lightning cracks through a blizzard.

    The moon is on his fur, the stars are in his eyes.

    A small rustle in the small, leafless underbrush.

    A rabbit crosses his path.

    A growl deep in his throat, low rough intimidating.

    As silent as the night itself, he creeps up on his prey.

    Quick as a flash, the fragile creature is broken and lifeless.

    Powerful jaws devour the limp, defenseless rodent.

    Blood pools on the ground at the tiger's feet, seeping onto its paws, staining the silver fur a malevolent red.

    Beautiful and serene, yet a bloodthirsty killer.

    So beware of the creature in which ferocity never sleeps.

    This is a great poem. Awesome imagery and I love the way you describe the tiger's spots - "black lightning cracks through a blizzard." You're very talented.

    thanks so much!!!

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.
