Tiger Toes Poem by John T Shillito

Tiger Toes

Rating: 4.5


Between the toes of a tiger
is a little soft patch of fluff
Stroke it and hear the tiger purr,
that is, if you're gentle enough!

The actual toes of a tiger
are sharp and terribly rough
As you will find out quickly
if you haven't been gentle enough!

Life is like a tiger's toes
it's nasty, cruel and tough
But now and then, unsuspected
you find that soft bit of love

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
There really is a bit of soft fluff between a tiger's toes. Life - you'll have to find your own.

Excellent poem. Very well written the flow and the rhyme. While I know not of about tiger's toes I do of life's steps.
