poem written based upon this image--an online poetry class assignment
A polar bear unexpectedly washed up on a beach of sun-soaked sand, blinking at palm trees like they were part of some cosmic prank. He tried to build a snow fort out of coconuts and optimism, but everything kept melting~ except his dignity. Soon he learned to waddle in flip-flops, sip pineapple juice through a straw, and fan himself with a leaf the size of his entire head. He decided, with a shrug, that life is mostly about adapting~ even if you’re a creature of snow learning to love the warm, ridiculous world.
