Notes About The Poem

Bi-Polar Bear Revisited Not For Contest

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

Eileen Manassian November 7, 2017 at 9:36 AM Interesting write, Lin. You two make a great pair to bring up the humor for us to enjoy. Thanks for putting up the link. Lin Lane November 7, 2017 at 10:31 AM Thanks, Eileen. The site needs a touch of humor after seeing the seriousness of what's been going on.

Dale Gregory Cozart November 7, 2017 at 8:56 AM Ha Ha Ha!!! Very clever! Lin Lane November 7, 2017 at 10:31 AM Thanks, Dale.

Russell Sivey November 7, 2017 at 8:13 AM 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!! Lin Lane November 7, 2017 at 8:16 AM 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.

Joanna Daniel November 7, 2017 at 7:35 AM Ha ha, I had fun with this poem, Lin:) though I am sure there's more behind the literal meaning;) that llama line topped it all:) Lin Lane November 7, 2017 at 7:38 AM Yes, Jo, and you're very intuitive. Thanks for liking it. Your reaction makes me laugh lol

Jan Allison November 7, 2017 at 7:03 AM ha ha ha Lin I remember the fun we had with the original bi-polar bear poem and you have inspired me to write a few more limerick verses and post them on my page ... I'll see what i can come up with and that pic is hilarious:-) hugs Jan xx Lin Lane November 7, 2017 at 7:14 AM 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.
