A dodoitsu poem about the prowling tiger who brings us fear and respect.
Writer's Cramp: the dodoitsu about tigers: Syllable format is 7-7-7-5.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tiger





Prowling tiger, Shere Khan,

Jungle and village outlaw,

Colored cat of treachery

With death in each claw.


We have learned to fear his wrath.

His fierceness makes us humble.

Never stray across the path

Of his black-striped roar.
