Like A Tiger Cub

I am like
This tiger cub
Starting to grow
Striped tumble of paws
Like a little orange cherub
With my pen and scrapbook
But will soon grow into
The archangel cat
The feline cathedral
That is my mother
I would like to say
That the majesty
That is tiger already
Flickers in these
Brown dazzled eyes
But my only projection
For my own protection
Babies do become adults
I know that much
But can only guess at more
And I can only hope
For what I will become
When I emerge
From time's chrysalis
When I leave behind
This young animal play
And honed my skills
For my life began
Only to be
One big
Poetry
Pen

Tinks,

Turning the introspective eye on yourself, eh? Biting (no pun intended) and honest.

Peace,

Interesting contrast between a cub growing into a tiger and larva, or rather a pupa, emerging into the world as a poetic butterfly. ~ Sara
