Notes About The Poem

Bear In Uniform

Bear in Uniform

You had wide shoulders, 
and a scruffy face. 
Your beard was soft, 
and you had nice eyes. 

I was not what you needed, 
You were exactly right. 
Saved me from ugly, 
and evil.
Thank you. 

What can I say, 
that “we” were never meant to be?
Convenience, and friendship, 
turned upside down. 

Yet, a picture found loose,
in a drawer,
brought back…
happy feet, spoons, 
pleasant reminders
of better moments, now gone. 

I hope you are happy.
