I have a fondness for the polar bear, hunting seals on a frozen ice-packed sea. For camouflaged by white-snow everywhere, like ghosts, they're impossible to see. Cerulean waters freckled with white patches of ice and snow comprise their home. And all the northern creatures fear their might, keeping a safe distance from where they roam. An Arctic summer sun that never sets lets them hunt in twenty-four hours of light. And they survive on guile without regrets when winter slips into an endless night. In the wild, polar bears fascinate me, thriving in solitude and living free. (Sonnet) 5/7/2018

I have a polar bear necklace, because I too have a fascination for the Alaskan bear. Have you been there? It feels like you have. I really like this poem, about polar bears thriving and living free.
