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!

Thank you so much, Valerie. I'm extremely new to this site and its wonderful to get good feedback so early- pumps me up for my next poem! I'm so glad you could visualise it... I'm trying to work on my descriptive techniques.

Thanks again,

Imogen.
