I am, however, confused by the second person. The poem itself also reads completely unnaturally. It's easy enough to read it imperatively, but that makes it sound like a small fragment of a thought.As I understand it a Haiku should basically present you with an aspect of nature. It should allow the reader to form his/her own picture in their mind. Towards the end, often using the last line, there should be something which contrasts, but which on reflection is relevant.
My question is the title. I don't understand it.
(P.S. didn't realize it was posted under haiku until after I replied. woops.)
In my poem the idea is that you might feel that the Tiger ripping into raw, still warm flesh from its kill seems disgusting and something to be ashamed of. However the last line says there is no reason for the tiger to feel guilty in any way.
