April 22 is Earth Day. On Earth day you don’t need to turn off the lights. You just have to think of the beauty of earth. One of the most beautiful things on earth are tigers. That’s why this year I decided to participate in 2010 tiger blogfest. So by now you are probably asking: what is the 2010 tiger blogfest?
"The Tiger Blogfest 2010 is a week in April where bloggers blog about the need to protect our tigers. It is an avenue for the blogging community to contribute towards protecting our national heritage."-planet of the monyets
So I decided to write something special for the tigers and since we are in April (which is well-known for poetry month), I decided to write something for tigers in a poem shape.
**********
The fearless way you look at the enemy
It's like you own the jungle
It's like you are the king of the kingdom
Too bad you are disappearing
Your number is decreasing
Human, whom I consider as your number one enemy, enjoying hunting you down year after year
I sure will miss your orange brownish skin
The way you walk, think and plan your hunt
Kids of the future will be questioning "what is a tiger?" when they read the poem:
"Tiger, Tiger burning bright
In the forest of the night"
As if you own the jungle
As if you are the king of kingdom
You still can't do anything to stop humans from hunting you down year after year
I sure will miss the fearless way you look at your enemy.

So what do you think of my poem? Likes? Dislikes?

Hi everyone
Today my post is not be written by me. It is written by my dear friend Sarah Saghir. She loves to write poems and I asked her to publish her latest poem on my blog and she said yes.
So enough with the talking and lets read her poem
**************************************************************************************
A secret parade,
you steered feelings my way.
Infatuation navigated to my space,
triggered by your elements,
that could reach depths underneath this skin,
like water when drunk, sunlight when felt,
and wind when inhaled.
a smile more refreshing than a gentle wind,
pilfering glimpses taking my breath away,
sizzling presence, triggering wetness between the legs.
All sparked with late night conversations
and long captivating hand shakes,
soon later bursted into love flames,
crackling kisses on my cheeks laid,
leaving them love-baked.
scented hugs magnetize me to your ribcage,
all happens in dark shades,
in disguise, hidden dates,
feelings veiled from them pupils and her iris,
marching, marching on his lanes through my veins,
we're supposed to be responsible for our hormones, emotions and mind state,
these feelings drag us, instead we must operate - them, but since when- was I ever the circuit breaker of my flowing feelings.
oh shit! they’re coming our way,
never mind the case, just keep a straight face,
Break me away from your eye embrace,
and make sure your thoughtless smile is erased.
Faster pace, when they invade our place,
Lovers to Friends, it isnt just letters we gotta replace,
acting like siblings when we hit the stage, but in your heart I'm that star, hidden in shame,
eager on fame,
dancing to the whispers of this Masquerade. that way, all's plain, we're safe.
they wont percieve a picture or frame.
they wont see the flare in our gaze
or trace the lingering smoke of our love haze.
