Hidden Tiger
john clare
Crouching quietly beneath
the English Dogwood focused on a resting Tiger Swallowtail
The photographer knew at any moment his presence would be known
So he had to quickly compose and align the fresnel.
Second nature these things he had done for so long.
But one should never grow complacent in his pride
Smug that his lens alone could capture prey
The Tiger discerned the photographer trying to hide
Exposing both him and his
Haughty way.
