Tiger
Blends with the African plains,
Fur as smooth as a quilt,
Chasing him is a tail,
Painted orange and black.
Behind his dazzling colours,
Lies hidden ferocity.
Bended claws stained with blood,
An eager eye watching for prey.
His feet are as agile as a hare,
His body is full of spring,
He will pounce and tear apart,
An unsuspecting morsel.
A creature most hunted,
yes, most hunted,
A creature most hunted,
For his coat of patterned fur.
