(a set of 5 poems in cinquain form)
1
Tomcat
Knows a tiger
That he admires afar
Loves to play some days in spite her
Sharp teeth
2
His queen
His tiger love
Enjoys his company
And now and then will lick his face
To taste
3
Old Tom
In sun and rain
Will watch her pace the cage
He’ll walk to her respectfully
And call
4
Green eyes
Focus on him
Her feline tabby friend
Who reciprocates his tiger’s
Express
5
It’s been
This way for years
It never goes too far
For he is subject to his queen
His life

Omg i love this! It's a great story with a formidable conclusion. Maybe the story Isnt over yet but for now, you've left us hanging.

Why thank you so much, dear Triston, and a pleasure to meet you here visiting my work. I'm very touched by your words. I look forward, if you follow along, while I (and others you know) do the NaPoGloPoWriMo this April. :)

I wish there was an emoji Cheshire Cat grin... That would sum it up... RL'd definitely!

Ah Thomas, I've added something not quite a Cheshire Cat grin, but something familiar. Do you think it makes our tiger queen look less regal?
With RL gratitude.

Delightful! I know this is about a tiger but I can't help but think of my cat. Maybe I'm taking too many liberties. My cat has the most beautiful green eyes though:

Her feline tabby friend

Anyway, I'm a cat lover, a friend to all felines, and I love this. Sheer purrfection!

My dearest crowfly friend, thank you so much! I'm terribly honored by your words on my work made equal to that beautiful and lively young cat of yours. I wonder how she's handling all this rain we've incurred?

I'm also a cat lover, so I enjoyed this poem all the more. Despite being royal, the tigress acknowledges and accepts the tabby's company as worthy of being around her.
Another excellently written poem. Well done, Jade!

sumptuous! what I love about this site, i am such a (northern) uk writer and yet we all fall under the same stars.
Oh my goodness, said like a true poet no matter where you're from. And thank you for your support of my humble set.
Btw, I have a bit of heritage shared with you, from my dad's side, which is Scottish but also some Welsh.

That is beautiful. Us Welsh are a strange breed. We know that. We bleed our language against extinction. I'm not fluent, but I try. If you into music check out Cerys Matthews. She was in band Catatonia. She our heroine lol. Rob

Thank you, Rob, and lovely to know you by name. I am very much into music from around the globe. I’m grateful for being told of Cerys Matthews, yes. I just finished listening to her, and I will soon listen to some of Catalonia. When first I heard Cerys sing a few minutes ago, the sound of the language was immediately soothing to my ear, and now sings through my blood...
Diolch Rob,

God bless you for taking the time to learn a bit of Welsh. That has touched me a lot. We are a strange breed I admit that! But we stand together, cry together, and ultimately, fight together. A bit of Cerys she our queen lol

Play this really loud. It's the Welsh national anthem and will accompany me to the grave. Cerys is a legend - we all love her. I once saw Catatnoia supporting The Manic Street Preachers. In London. I was in Cymru heaven lol. Check out Road Rage. All us writers feel that rage...
