Notes About The Poem

- the Brown Bear's Winter Sleep -

Stay warm
                                               ursus arctos
                                     the huge brown teddy bear
                                  hunt larger animals, like moose
                                              ... sleep well

Kai Michael Neumann February 7, 2020 at 4:10 AM A very warm portrait. I once had a much loved T-shirt from Sequoia National park. "Walk bearfoot in the park" My brother once took a photo of one, until he realized that his camera was on mega-zoom. Kind wishes, Kai Anne-Lise Andresen February 7, 2020 at 7:22 AM - ... surely he was peeing in his pants :))) ...
