Tyger

The woods are dark and deep, and quiet.
The only sound my rough, wet steps.
I could choose to be quiet too

But there’s some who might spell danger so
I let them know I am walking through
And to mind their own business.

My claws are soaked and so’s my jaw with
Ruby red from a prey turned meal.
My belly’s as full as stars

That can’t be seen in this thick, black night.
The only bright that cuts through it
Are my eyes. If I blink I’m gone.

An enjoyable read. The last line is so powerful. Memorable, I'd say. Blessings, Allen
