Oh, Tiger

When I signed up for the Tiger BlogFest 2010, I didn't realise how swamped with deadlines I would be this week. I knew I had to write something but what? My entire days and nights were filled with work, frantically writing, editing, rewriting. Then this evening, in a quiet moment, this popped into my head, almost perfectly formed. It's not what I had intended to write for the blogfest – and I will write that, later – but for now, I give you:

OH, TIGER

Oh, she sighed, you're a tiger

Come closer, so close, you can smell my soul

He sleeked nearer, nuzzled her neck and

Oh, she moaned, you tiger

Stroke me, feel me, taste my very being

He licked her, languidly, longingly, and as he lingered

Oh, she cried, tiger, tiger

I love you, I want you, take me, eat me

And so he did.
