Old Bear

Old Bear

As the New Year dawns 
The Old Bear yawns
In his old gruff growl
That almost sounds like a howl

The new sun will rise
Piercing the skies
And the old bear shall awake 
From his den at daybreak

He will stop his slumber 
As he was resting like a pile of lumber
Making an appearance to life 
While the hunter sneaks up with a knife 
        ~Trevor Marshall

Trevor, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
