Paper Tiger:

The words of a story are sleek and racy like a gleaming coat

yet strong and intense as the muscles are bunched beneath that fur.

Meanings are hidden sometimes behind a subtile purr of sentences other times they leap out and hook into your sense with razor claws

Feelings come through in similar yet contrasting manners

like the soft lapping of a tongue on a kitten or over ivory, like teeth smeared in fresh blood 

Sometimes plot changes and character twists are all but unforseen as the twitch of whiskers or the flick of an aggravated tail

Letters build upon each other

carrying themselves to the climax like mighty

legs ushering the body closer towards the kill

parallels the power of the pride taking prey and through poetry and prose the young  will be fed with knowledge
