I'm not sure about which poem you are talking about, but it might be the famous poem called 'The Tiger' by William Blake.

You might be thinking of the poem "tigers, tigers" by Linda A. Copp.
Tigers, Tigers around me,
Yellow, Orange, Black they be.
Graceful beauty dwells without,
the stripes, the lean lines they cut out,
a figure swift, a figure fast,
an animal coolest to the last.

As keen and cunning fills their eyes,
they'll pounce, attack with sole surprise,
picture of Tiger restingpicture tiger investigating
Falling on their startled prey,
with all the horror, they can slay.

Scratches on your arm, your wrist,
your hurting body lies there kissed,
by Magnificence and surly Might,
their keen their cunning,
their snarl and fight!


Hope this helps.
