an excellent example of blank verse with good steady iambic meter but without rhyme,at least that is true of the first stanzas.
I see that in the final quatrain you do use rhyme as you do in your final couplet.
Excellent use of alliteration in phrases like battle beckons, boisterous and brash and in punctures with poise
vivid descriptive detail that creates an eerie, danger-filled atmosphere
I like the enjambment from stanza two to three.
I like the transition from the feeling of danger to the tigress protecting the speaker with sultry serenades
This creates such compelling mood and great visuals, Mike :-) Brooke

I very much enjoyed this read. A splendid job! Even the contrast of font and background is rich and makes a great picture with the chosen artwork. Thank you for a lovely treat!

Hi Mike,
Always loved your way with words! I'm not sure where to start because I love all of it! Awesome iambic pentameter throughout with this sonnet form. I've been off the site for a while and my reviewing skills are rusty so bear with me.
You make the reader think, which is something I always enjoy. You got my attention right off the bat with your opening line..."My tigress, dress my wounds to kingdom come." I could quote many of the lines in this poem they are so exceptional. :)
Check the last line in your first stanza, as I think you have 11 syllables in it.
I'm bookmarking this one! Looking forward to more of your work.
Take care,
Katherine
Oops, upon looking over this again, I see that all lines have 10 syllables. Pardon me as I am a bit rusty! LOL

Your well-written poem vividly conveys the theme that woman is very much a protective force for man. Instead of the usual celebration of feminine, soft characteristics, you praise feline toughness. Good job
