Bear Feet -Not Bare-

I can't bare my feet with fur
I can't stand the grizzly inside

Big and tall
I got claws

Angry
At the world

Shoeless, 
Feet (not foot) prints,

Naked
Through the wood
I bare (not bear) dark fur

Stomping trees, with my
Bear Feet (not bare)

A silent RoaR


Chase-

Debbie Guzzi Date: 8/14/2015 3:06:00 PM very good use metaphor & the portrayal of feeling through action! You SHOW which is great. Light & Love Login to Reply C T Date: 8/14/2015 3:38:00 PM I'm criticized on the word bear and bare a lot. This was a funny idea. I enjoyed comparing it to anxiety

Jan Allison Date: 8/14/2015 5:06:00 AM such powerful imagery Chase - I like the clever word play can relate to this with my son - teenage years are hard for us all to bear/bare! Hugs Jan xx Login to Reply

Andrea Dietrich Date: 8/5/2015 9:45:00 PM oh, so I see you were describing anxiety. My husband suffers from that. But he is not poetic to describe it to me like you do! Login to Reply
