Tiger, Tiger (Not Kipling) Poem by Elena Plotkin

Tiger, Tiger (Not Kipling)



Tiger, Tiger, up a tree.
Tiger, Tiger come to me.
Tiger, Tiger locked in a cage.
Tiger, Tiger placed in a rage.
Tiger, Tiger do not growl.
Tiger, Tiger do not scowl.
Tiger, Tiger will not leap.
Tiger, Tiger put to sleep.

the last line was a boo hoo line. (i'm thinking 'death' sleep here) : ( is it the man-eater? ? i like the poem, but what do you think of my idea to have the words.locked and placed switch places? ? just a thought. nice rhyming. a nice little poetic snack! thanks for sharing. bri :)
