The Bear is my Spirit Animal

The Bear
by: Rob Paquin

And there;
The bear
Strolling as if he had no cares.
His staring glare
Piercing, prodding;
Raising hairs....

The woods;
So deep
Ever dark, but he don't sleep
Silently the bear..., he weeps.

His den;
Pretend
He just wanders past his tree-like friends
His end;
Ostends
But has yet to claim him
Once again

~ The Snowdog

What a coincidence! I am just seeing this bear poem now. And we were just talking about bears. It is a sad poem, Rob. I have never seen a sad bear ever. JC.

@HikingMan I have developed a way to wake from nightmares. Still, they remain fresh in my mind. Thank you for the offer. I would like two, please. One for each side of me.

@PoetryNEmotion I shall ask. They pretty much do what they want, but sometimes they and I think alike. I wish a peaceful and resting sleep tonight.

I've been here way too long tonight.
I feel out of sorts and film covered in some way.

I'll talk to you soon.

@HikingMan I hope Dreamland hears your words.

Oh, no. That isn't good. I limit my time here.

That would be fine, hon. Good night.

But you're not meant to talk about your spirit animal! It offends them

@Tinkles Bears are fairly thick skinned.

@HikingMan all the more reason I wouldn't want to make one angry

HikingMan · 51-55, M

@Tinkles On that point we both agree.
Thankfully I haven't ever angered them as of yet.
I suppose I'll find out soon enough, once sleep overtakes me ?

Love this. Thanks for sharing.

@QueenOfTheNerds You are welcome I suppose.
This was an off the cuff type of thing written just now in the span of time my fingers took to type it.
If I were to grade it against my other things it would be a 3 out of 10.

I'm glad you liked it and I am thankful for your comment.

@HikingMan The subject caught my attention.

HikingMan · 51-55, M

@QueenOfTheNerds Bears and I go back a long ways....
It's hard to explain and most people would call me crazy if I tried....

I am glad that you enjoyed it and I hope you enjoy this night also.

Be well
Live happy
Die trying,
Rob
