Gee whiz. What do I do now? I was all delighted and smiling and thrilled and all that. Then I look up and see that I'm supposed to be a child. Well, I guess I can accept that. Apparently everyone is right when they say I haven't grown up! I love this!! mikey

Comment from Treischel

Excellent

Another delightfully expressive poem that brings us into a child's mind, this one a tiger nightmare. You kept us wondering until the end though. Excellent 8/7 pace makes the verse rhythmic. Nice abcb rhyming. I enjoyed it.

Brooke, What a nightmare. Good job on your rhyming
quatrains. That tiger sure could have torn you to
pieces. Good thing it was just a dream.

A very cute poem of the tiger. As nicely written as always with good rhythm and good rhymes. Love the picture. Enough to give anyone nightmares! Love it. Miss Sally

This is cute, Brooke. I enjoyed reading it, as I always do your poems. I have no suggestions. Well done. I would give you six stars, but I see you already have it.

I've missed reading here at Fanstory. Have been awfully busy doing other things. Hope to get back to doing more.

A great recital of what - it turns out - is a dream. Beautiful cadence throughout, giving this a real nursery rhyme feel (it has a limerick-esque sound, to my ear). Great fun, and I loved reading it.

This is a great poem, Brooke. Just a bit gory with pools of blood. No one seems to write horror poems anymore. I guess I could write one.lol. Have a great week, my friend~Debbie

Thanks so much, Debbie. Toddlers are not the audience for gory, but kids in elementary school eat that stuff up like candy. LOL :-) Brooke

Amazing poem. I see why it's an all time best. I honestly don't have any advice other than keep doing what you're doing.

A great scary poem for an older kid, Brooke. They love the scary and gory. Loved the homicidal/survival rhyme, and the dream ending will allow the kids to breathe again.
Smiles,

The picture is enough fright, looking to be a real stuffed tiger & with the poem yes, I would be relieved , but shaken if I had that dream, & think this type of dream can also apply to adults, & just heard about an attack by a tiger not to long ago in India, about a man who just didn't have a chance & his family looked on helplessly..Also, I live in walking distance to a zoo that houses such a creature..
