The heat in the rain

In the rain, she stalks.

From the shadows she creeps,

The walk from the cave had been troubled.

The rain was harsh.

She was wounded.

On sight she had been shot,

The pain had crashed through,

A thing of heat and death.

She had never been free.

She was so hungry.

She was dying.

A tiger, 

bloody and wet, 

fell to the ground.

You must be the friend of storyteller, like, how smoothly you flow... and vent down your thoughts in such words. One of the very absolute work of yours it is, i must say.

[Mel Jayne]

thanks. I really enjoyed writing it.

[Wórdsmíth]

Yeah... i can see that. So what was the inspiration behind writing this masterpiece? Were you on hunt ?? lol (smiling)

[Mel Jayne]

I was watching a TV show that had a Tiger in and they got shot by a policeman, it was really sad and I wanted to write a poem anyway. I also used memories of jungle animations like the jungle book and zootopia for the way that it feels aesthetically.

Excellent! Then i must adore your for your active sense of humor and very wide variety of thoughts. You catch things or get inspired by "things" so fast, and passionately. Liked it. Have at it, Doll.

It's pretty horrific how humans take pride in saying 'we shot the animal on sight' just because it is an animal..
You portrayed it really well...

[Mel Jayne]

Thank you. I'm glad you think that.

[Dr. YumnaKay]

You're welcome 😊

' A thing of heat and death.'

Your words are stark, unemotional.. and THAT is exactly how heartless killers are. Superb writing.

[Mel Jayne]

Thank you. I'm glad that you think that way

[Mr.Writer]

I feel bad for the tiger who'd been shot :(
Human's do cross their limits lots of times...
