It's Still Life

dVerse Does Lai

A Bear’s Picnic

Our hike ended here.
Sun risen. Sky clear.
Twigs snapped
as we walked in fear
of grizzly bears near.
In fact
we could overhear
growls — oh dear,
bear tracks!

Yikes! Well written, but you went for my personal phobia. Sweaty palming through the poem. Let’s see… emotional response from the reader… yep, it’s effective!

Fun, though a bit scary, Misky. We have had bears visit our West Reno neighborhood in the foothills during the drought. When development encroaches on their habitat, it’s to be expected.
