Best Grizzly Poems

The grizzly bear came at me, snorting and screeching.
Until this second, I did not know that they screeched.
I knew to run was not the way. I had been warned.
They love to chase their prey before they eat it.

Play dead! A voice in my head said. 
What? Are you crazy? I looked at the trees.
None of...

Are you aware that a Grizzly Bear
Is tall and very powerful,
Don't disturb him while he naps
Or you might get a growl full.

If you see him in a forest, 
Then seek shelter from a tree,
Make sure your scent is downwind
Or you just might be his tea....

Grumpy Grizzly yawns

Hollow tree trunk awaits –

     Hibernation




Note:  I’d like to dedicate this entry for Andrea’s contest to 
Daver Austin, who describes himself as a “grumpy” old man....

Three truant scholars spending our sabbaticals
in crisp Colorado, we all re-read Walden,
dared to drink from streams so icy clear
the fish seemed suspended in mid-air.
Our flimsy nylon shelters shielded us
from what weather there was to worry on,
as summer slipped to autumn 
and autumn waned winterward.
Four full years past we trekked those trails
through stands of timber frequented...

The Grizzly Old Cowboy's Night At The Saloon


That wash-bin washed away tons of trail-dirt
Many a pint of blood too said the old man
He was lean and mean in his cowboy shirt
Weather-beaten face and western sun's tan.
Young man, hitch your belt tight tonight
We afixin' to race forth to DryCreek's saloon
With luck, we'll have great fun and...

A grizzly isn't really, as bad as he's made out
He wanders round the parklands, when no humans are about
But there are times of course, we meet him in his home
We can't blame him for being there, it is on his land we roam

Open up your tent flap, and see the big brown bear
Close it quickly...

Have you ever seen a grizzly... bare?
And told him to put on some clothes
I did that once, but it must have upset him
Because he reared back on his toes

Well this guy's no freaking big hero
So I started to take off like a shot
But before I could, he grabs me and says 
“I'm your friend... like...

His name was Timothy Treadwell, aka The Grizzly man.
He was a naturalist who had a very strong love for the grizzly bears of our land.
He alone at times would chase off poachers to protect his animal kin.
How ironic that the very beast that he loved so much would one day come to kill him.
One day...

Story/poem

My husband and I were invited to go on a
camping trip. I being a city girl - it was a real 
trip for me. It was quiet late at night, we were
on our camping site.

Everybody had gone to bed. I was not used to 
the outdoors, so I was having trouble sleeping.
Suddenly there was a...

I am a grizzly bear in the depths of the earth, taking one last look at my forested 
wonderland before I fall into a deep, dark slumber, safe and sound in the rocky cave that 
encloses me into my bed of leaves. From the inside of my cave, the outside world looks like 
a painters...

Asian Black, Kodiak, Polar Bear, Grizzly and cuddly Teddy bear too….
Which one would you want to find wearing your pajamas when you have the flu?
The purple and pink striped ones would look the prettiest on the Asian Black,
But she is particular, and prefers a polka dotted nightie with a sheer and sexy back.

Let’s say you...

a grizzly bear had never looked so sincere
I hid in the woods, trying not to shake my rear
the robin was clearly in charge that day
coaching the bear, in the kindest way

luckily I speak bird so I understood his tweet
he said you have to soft-speak her, you must be sweet
no female wants you to act like...
