Calm Poet

An article I read today
Described attacks by bears.
The writer said, when males attack,
You’re captured unawares.

He also emphasized the fact
All bears are not the same.
Just like two humans differ,
Bears can stake a matching claim.

“Not every person that you meet,”
He went on to compare,
“Is nasty mugger or calm poet;”
So I say – no fair!

Every poet isn’t calm.
To prove it, I’ll insist
That, for the record, here’s a poet
Who’s bemused and pissed!

Helo Ilene, I have a question: what are you angry about? I somehow do not understand your poem. Enjoy your day my friend.
