Snapshots From Ship and Shore

SNAPSHOTS FROM SHIP AND SHORE

he licked his lips
as the ship sailed closer
paws in the upright position
ready for landing on the lido deck
his husky tummy rumbled
eyes taking snapshots

~

humans snap photos
of the cute little bear
inching, just so closer
but just out of range
for a smack down

~

the motor starts up
chasing thoughts of hope
to fill his cavernous stomach
with delectable provisions
of fine dining

Silent One September 28, 2017 at 7:15 AM I was wondering what this one was about, if you were using a clever metaphor.. I take it they are about photographs or memories from a ship? Nice write Kim.. Kim Rodrigues September 28, 2017 at 7:33 AM Thanks, Silent! Yes, based on a true story! Ahh...the wonders of Alaska!! I will have to go back a third time! Blessings <3 Kim

Vijay Pandit September 28, 2017 at 7:15 AM The Lido deck sounds familiar--the view from your cruise ships--a bear sighting--a moment well captured! Kim Rodrigues September 28, 2017 at 7:31 AM Thanks, Vijay! :)
