The tiger in the cage gazes sadly at the freedom On the other side. It's so close, Yet so out of reach. His eyes are dull and lifeless His scarred shoulders sag, his whiskers droop As the man with the whip Laughs cruelly And snaps the whip once more. The great animal The magnificent cat of the jungle Lays his great striped head on the concrete floor. His eyes close, a single tear makes its way down his cheek. His heartbeat slows. His breathing stops. A cool breeze blows Ruffling the black and orange fur. Freedom. |

sigh...this is pretty sad, even more so because I used to know a 'tiger' like that... You do a great job of packing emotion in your words, Foxpaw!  Sad, but still beautiful.  And congrats on your first post! I'm going to have to come up with a welcome poem for you! lol  Little Spyro T. Dragon |
