[hometext] => tiger, nature, symbolism,
[bodytext] => Spring by spring this irreverent sapling Branches out - oulos growing into a bristling bold Like a scion of Aeneas - julian-ja goes sky grappling Leaving June in her swoon, for August’s laurel crown Mauling the earth with an Alexandrian fire the cold Sometimes a sly smile or sardonic frown Curls the branches and whistles wolf the wind's hoot Gentle mangling to claw down deeper dark root Learning the ropes from the metaphorical snakes Welcome to the jungle - making no mistakes Paws plant…pause and plant This tiger is not a lily but a trunk triumphant And the stream flows by with a contented sigh Knows this swimmer will never low sink Will leap with the sap from Soma drink Breaking free from paths too narrow To strike the sky like a gold black arrow! 2013 [comments] => 1 [counter] => 71 [topic] => 27 [informant] => saramic [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => NaturePoetry )
