Fierce As Tigers

it's the jungle... we are in that jungle... surviving, survivors, tigers...RAWRRR!

Look at the faces,

look at the ears,

eyes,

lips,

fur,

skin,

structure.

Similarities or not,

there is.

Hunting to survive,

surviving from hunters,

prey,

victim.

Experience,

making you stronger,

falling into,

life of a tiger,

tiger falling into life of a human.

Stripes as fingerprints, fingerprints as stripes,

define us, beautify us all, ordinary, unique, our own to hold,

adventurous in our own;

our own bodies,

our own tails wrapped around life,

our own life wrapped around our skin, our fur,

our own eyes, own ears, own mouth...

tasting, feeling, speaking, our voice in the air; amongst it,

beauty like the roar and growl of a tiger, purr of a tiger,

whispers, moans, whimpers, whines, screams, love making;

plainly just noise, amongst the day, isn't at all plain it's something;

it's the jungle... we are in that jungle... surviving, survivors, tigers...

fierce as tigers, loveable as humans, trained... as ourselves.

Wow amazing. I am in awe. There is an old native american belief that once you have found your totem you have found a piece of your eternal self and that it is generally a transformative experience. Your totem might just be the tiger.

I loved this picture, and the format I also loved your authors note " Is a tiger? Are you a tiger?" It made me re-read the poem to get the full understanding. :)) Loved it.

I really like the topic, and your style is very fun and playful. The only thing that could possibly be improved is the strength of the words in the beginning, it gets much better by the midpoint, but I think a few different word choices in the beginning could really help emphasize your thoughts from the get-go. :)
