The Grahamburglar Poet Personification

Dancing Bears

Bears
coming
through…
graceful
giant bears
coming
through.
Twirling,
swirling…they
waltz: One, two, three.
One, two, three.
Laughing
bears
dancing
together,
right on
through.
Off they
go!!!!

Entry for Contest: Shall We Waltz?
Host: Kim Merryman

*in the Air Force we had a program for Airmen who were struggling to meet the physical fitness requirements, which we referred to in a sort of tongue-in-cheek manner as "The Dancing Bears" program.

Kim Merryman June 17, 2015 at 8:31 PM Preston, congrats on your placement in my contest! I love your humorous poem. Thanks for the explanation. I had never heard that term before and my husband is retired AF. Well done! Love, KIm The Grahamburglar June 17, 2015 at 9:26 PM Thanks for hosting the contest, Kim. I'm pretty new to poetry, so it's fun to flex my brain a little trying out new forms. =) I appreciate the placement as well, of course. =)
