This is a poem I decided to write spontaneously, even though I have a lot of stories already I'm in the middle of. I may turn this into multiple poems…if it's liked.
To Rear a Tiger is to Court Calamity
When she sent me to you
And we brought you home
And we trained together
I knew it would be
Amity
But falling the river
And falling in love
You did not approve
And thus created
Enmity
We grew back together
Though you did not approve
And that day on the rocks
Nearly tore me apart
Calamity
And the next moons
Together we sough
The exposure and defeat
Of the murderous tyrant
Calamity
And when your time came
And you chose me not
I respected your decision
And then one you favored
Civility
Through the darkest time
We unveiled the tyrant
And washed away blood
Staying together in
Amity
All was peaceful
Though not forever
The legacy was passed
Though we all had hoped to achieve
Serenity
I'm not saying who it's about, but I'm sure it's quite obvious! Review with the answer, and if you get it right, plushie for you! And the name of this poem is based on a famous saying that I got when I Googled the word 'calamity', so I decided to use it. It also adds to deciphering what this poem is about.
