COAT of FLAMES

He wears a coat of flames

And has a dignified air;

The way in which he walks

You cannot help but stare.

Don’t go too near for fear

He might make you weak

For in the presence of his beauty

In words of poetry you’ll speak.

What majesty on four feet,

What power to inspire,

Such a special, rare Tiger

Wearing his coat of fire!

Tiger Tiger burning bright!

something special in that quote, eh? My favourite animal, I've been wanting to write a poem for ages about a tiger. No way thought it would turn out like this. I'm pleased with this creation. So pleased you like it too Pete. Your feedback is always appreciated.
