Out of the Sahara,
my eye: the tiger

Gleam, you are a blanched lantern
on the Savannah

I was on the prowl
until you came to my domain

Ivory, I shall hunt
and harvest you

Writhe on my belly
until I am close

Listen, Anasazi laughs
his black spider joke;

I laugh as we begin
to weave.

Hello, or should I begin with a RAWR!? I have yet to critique you, because quite honestly, your efficiency with grammar/punctuation twitterpates me to the point of distraction. Now that that's outta the way, let's rip this poem open.

Starting with the title:
Darling, we are quite apparently in Africa laughing with tigers and whatnot; this is not the dirty south. I am no belle, more so a cheap broad with a twang. Title this dedication something rawr-able. <-- That is indeed a word. Don't question it. Anywho, that's all I have to say about that.

Vision:
I can see it. That is awesome. Thumbs up, dude. I know that's not what Vision means in the critique system, but I'm the inspiration for this jazz, so Vision can represent ponies and sunflowers if I so choose.

Originality:
Dude, ain't nobody ever called me African game before. That is some original stuff right there. Props.

Technique:
I am a fan. But let's not talk about that here.

Impact:
Ask the tiger.

Oh, on the rating system....perfect score, even with the horrible title. Because ya know what? I like it when people write poems for me.
