tiger in the grass
he can smell
the deer's blood
before it bleeds
tiger is hungry
ready for a meal
the deer is unsuspecting
grazing through the brush
tiger waits and watches
he doesn't move
he seems so calm
but every muscle
is ready to burst
ready to explode
ready to flex and extend
as he blows his cover
and gives the deer chase
every muscle is itching
to do what it was meant to do
but tiger doesn't move
he sits perfectly still
watching and waiting
breathing slowly
tiger seems so calm
but every muscle
is ready to kill
