The meeting of a Tiger and a Canary. Many things can change, even the dangers we fear.
A meeting so fickle, enticing, furthermore exposed,

Below bellowed the Tiger,

demanding his space, his domain.

One gnarl intimidated those who wished to meddle.

Above glided the Canary,

sailing across the wide and open sky,

the breathing breeze whispers; 'Go there'

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

'Yes, there'; It said clearly,

with a thrashing change of course,

lemon, chrome wings powered down upon the Tiger's grassland,

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dominating, antagonized optics shot at the intruder,

the Tiger motivated to close the breach,

nevertheless; reluctant towards the heavenly two-feet,

the Canary flourished his tiny body,

murky hues stared recklessly back into luring ones,

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

'Leave, before harm comes your way,'; Groaned the Tiger,

'Our meeting is not for nothing,' Twittered once, the Canary,

'An unloved Tiger, will always be an unwanted Tiger,' Hovered the Tiger now,

'Forgery can be told like uprightness can be handed,' Communicated the Canary,

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

One bite and One flight,

with the perplexity all together,

the wings uncoil and the jaws expand,

contracted fangs punctured fragile wings,

'I can no longer fly for freedom, once broken, always broken,' Sing-song the Canary,

the Tiger turned his mighty head; placed the Canary onto his back,

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Like a riddle was said, much determination was there,

the Canary stood on untarnished fur,

the Tiger lowered his head,

'Will you stay with me then?' Rasped the Tiger,

'Eternally,' Tweeted the Canary,

A bite and one flight,

declared the unseen tremor.
