Eye of the Tiger

February 19, 2015 6:00 am

Tiger Naples Zoo

Tiger – Naples Zoo, Florida

 You incline your head ever so slightly

yet oh so

regally, with courageous and powerful eyes

speaking of

strength,

all the while submitting to

the solitude.

    1. Oh Albert – I know – scarey – eh? But oh so regal and kind of sad in that cage. You are so lucky to have the wonderful carefree life you do!

  7. The poem and picture are good, but what I love most is that verandah – always wanted one! Would love to be sitting there right now …

      1. Jodi – yes! I guess you can get the girl out of Jamaica but you can’t get Jamaica out of the girl. We call it verandah there! Your front porch is awesome! I’d love to have one here in England, but I don’t think it would go down well with the neighbours :)))

      3. It’s not that porches are not liked here. There are porches but not verandah-shaped ones …
