The White Beast

Oh how splendid is the beauty of the arctic
With us the white beasts ruling the polar ever
Prettiest of all bears, we look fair to all eyes
But the fur which we wrap reflects light within,
And thats how you see us as white as a dew...
We blend with the nature and take the hue at ease -
To hide and watch the prey for a chase...
We wear a cloak inside and that's our skin in dark -
To sock the suns rays and to keep us warm...
We love to swim but not quick to hunt,
We watch over the ice and wait for the seals...
We have a keen smell to sense the prey at far,
The instant it kiss the ice... gulp! Its in our mouth!
We are the largest carnivore ever to live on land...
Who can beat us and destroy us the least!

But if the ice melts and the arctic fades,
How can we suppress the call of appetite,
How can we hunt and feed our little cubs - 
Deep inside the beast a fear sprouted though...

It seems you are new to PS. May I offer you welcome. Is this for the contest? If so good luck if not perhaps it should be. The contests are a great way to share your poems and to get feedback and encouragement. Read lots of poems and offer honest comments to the ones you choose and you will find Poetry Soup a welcoming community. Good luck and if you don't mind I'll try to spend more time with you soon.

Yes I am new to PS. Just few weeks old :-) . This was written for the contest. The contests are just awesome and even if I don't win, it encourages me to write more on various topics and that is just wonderful. I never knew I could write something on Polar bears until I participated in this contest. So happy to be here and looking forward to read more poems and write too...
