All Mine

Cynthia writes a poem
about the tigress being a lady,
I ask out loud, what choice
do us mere mortals have
between the tiger and the lady
when the tiger
is the lady?

Howsoever the snarl of victory
resonates
I am guilty of the unholy state
of digress,
baring my teeth and purring, changing my
stripes into miles of one-way smiles, stealing the lust
from your eyes and making it mine.

All mine.

I know I don't comment on your writing very often, it is because it is one of the best on Neo and I feel that the others need more than you, so I hope you will forgive.
Just accept that all of your poetry is near top class,
Yours Ian.T
