In May I joined in a collaborative write with Jan Allison about a bi-polar bear Since then the furry marine mammal Has been treated at Arctic Health Care Here is an update that may interest you After six months of meds and therapy Her symptons are even worse than before She's being tracked; for her it's a tragedy Lady polar bear roams the Arctic plains feasting on ocean fish and baby seals She goes on a rampage when hungry A carnivore doesn't like missing meals She loves to dive into frigid waters from floe to floe, she paddles til weary searching for the most protective cave to hibernate. Beware of her and be leary Lady bi-polar bear met a mate to her liking and soon she'll become a brand new mama While she hibernates with a baby cub or two I'll fly to the Andes, in search of a lovely llama The original collaboration from May 2017: https://www.poetrysoup.com/poem/bi_polar_bear_collaboration_with_lin_lane_901528

Thanks, Eileen. The site needs a touch of humor after seeing the seriousness of what's been going on.

This is fabulous Lin! You have cracked me up with this delightful poem! I remember vaguely about you and Jan doing a collaboration on a Bi-Polar Bear! That must've been a lot of fun cause you are still writing from it! This poor polar bear just needs a hug...who wants to give her one, HA! What a special piece, Great Work!!

Thanks so much, Russell. I'll draw you a map to her cave and if she doesn't bite you I'll be right there to give her a hug. Jan and I bring out the humorous, and sometimes off the wall best in each other.

We always have fun writing together, or on like topics. I'm sure your limericks will be delightfully funny. Thanks for liking the pic. It seemed to fit the ID of a bi-polar polar bear.
