Tigers in the Eye of the Poet – National Poetry Month – April 4 2020

Lisa Tomey-Zonneveld

My Post (17) Lisa Tomey’s little poemlette about tigers

Today’s National Poetry Month prompt is all about tigers. Now, this could mean the animal or it could mean someone with a tiger like personality or any reference to tigers in your own kind of way. You might like to write about Richard Parker from Life of Pi 

So, let’s get at it!

If you would like to check out Robert Lee Brewer’s prompt for this day go to Poetic Asides. He always have the best prompts.

Also, check out NaPoWriMo and see what they are featuring.

I would love to see your poems in comments.

Happy Writing!!

One With Tuna

hearing the grinding

smelling the pungent juices

one must serve the king

All Eyes on You

thinking you’re alone

try again–a thing’s not missed

soon you’ll hear a hiss

Amuse Me

see that piece of yarn

fetch it human just right now

I don’t have all day

…

This is in response to the “IWH Haiku/Senryu Challenge”

Palomino Ponderings – Yes, Those are Skates

Percy Wonders About Skating Through Life

Perhaps it will work
Percy thought he would skate by
hooves had other thoughts

Would They Know His Sneaks

Sneaking through the barn
Percy wondered if they’d see
he was sliding by

Passing for A Fido

Percy thought he could
simply pass for Fido’s spots
skating out home free

…..

 

There you have it! This is my attempt to respond to the ekphrastic challenge for this week’s “IWH Haiku/Senryu Challenge”
