Paper

Paper tigers roar in ink 
yellow stains on black pages
charcoal eyes and pink paint nose
clawing streaks of obsidian dye
movement rough red crayon

Imogen!  Excellent write!  I "see" this most clearly as to so eloquently visualize a drawing of tigers roaring their yellow stripes staining the black page as they claw their movement in red.  A short but impacting write…excellent descriptive imagery!  5 stars from me!

Thanks again,

Imogen.
