This site is the official fan club of Marvin D. Schrebe! I'm his biggest fan but then I'm also his wife! My name is Susan Schrebe. Marvin and I are both professional writers although he is far more experienced and talented than I am. Just read the following poem and you'll agree.
This is a Shakespearean or English Sonnet written by Marvin D. Schrebe called "The Tiger". It is written in the traditional English Sonnet format but does not follow iambic pentameter. While most English Sonnets follow Iambic Pentameter iambic pentameter, modern writers often use their own flair or free verse.
The Tiger
The tiger crouched on the hill
The poachers looked for a kill
They wanted the tiger's hide
It tore the tiger up inside.
The tiger waited for a hunter to get close
Then the tiger took a pose
He pounced on the hunter and hurt him bad
Inside it made the tiger mad.
The hunter wanted to end the tiger's life
So the tiger tore the hunter with claws like a knife
The hunter's heard his message loud and clear
No other hunters bothered to come near.
The tiger could now live in peace
The huntes had put their activity at ease.
Marvin and I own and edit a magazine called Mid-Ohio Valley Poetry. It contains the poetry of Marvin D. Schrebe as well as other talented poets. It also contains short stories about my life written by yours truly. I love to write them. It also contains a section called Bob Foley's Fish Stories. The character in these stories gets into all kinds of messes. He meets many mythical creatures such as pixies, mermaids, Greek gods, and Bigfoot with hilarious results. I can't help but laugh aloud when I read the outlandish messes Bob Foley gets into. For example he meets a pixie named Isabella. She grants him his every wish but true to the nature of pixies there is always a negative result with the wishes. In one case he wishes it would cool down and she cools him down by having a tub of ice water form over him and dump on his head! You have to admit that's funny! Bob gets into many such messes, some far worse than that.
