Vlraynes, this is wonderfully done! The last line strikes grandly.

If I may ask, where did you get this picture? I'm in the very slow process of writing/illustrating a children's book and one character has the head of a white tiger. On that note, this is one of the most handsome representations I have seen. If you have any more pictures, or could give me your source I would be more than grateful. Thanks so much!

   on the net for white+tiger+pictures
   and this is one of the ones i found.
   i will do some research and see if
   i can find the site where i got it,
   and will let you know.    
   thanks again...i really appreciate
   all your kind responses to my poems.

Vicky, this Haiku is among the most beautiful if not the most beautiful one I have ever read.  The graphic is as well but even without it the words paint the vision beautifully.

~V,...I found your haiku to be both beautiful and most important too. A message I feel strongly about as well. Awesome writing. Haikus are tough to capture the 'umph' of the subject at hand,...but boy you do it well. Take care now. *Peace.
