Best Polar Poems

We are polar opposites trying to connect,
Walking through a field of land mines.
Sometimes we don't make it through
Without becoming a bit maimed.

I am the steadfast flower in your garden,
The one that always grows back.
Even if abused, I find a way to blossom.
Tethered together by an...

black and white landscape
a colony of penguins ~
standing and waddling

in the oceans depth  
lives a black and white giant~
orca killer whale   

seal on an ice flow  
oblivious to danger  ~
head butting whale strikes

egg laid by female

Who am I and what am I to say?,
All I've got to do is play,
Along in a game I don't understand,
Make people come to my land,
A deal that you don't think about,
Something thats going to start out,
A trend that will last for years,
Making people come...

I love living in the Arctic
The cold I find so cathartic
But you must beware
I'm bi-polar bear
If crossed I can be anarchic

I'm really a huge white bi-polar bear
You can take my photograph, laugh and stare
But if you come too near
You'll have reason to fear
If I'm in...

Bi-polar bear’s crafty and mean
So snooty she acts like a queen
She’s cold and aloof
Of that I have proof
And was last seen on the latrine

Bi-polar bear peed on the ice
Bright yellow ice didn’t look nice
To cover her tracks
She grabbed her ice axe
Her chopping was not quite...

In May I joined in a collaborative write
 with Jan Allison about a bi-polar bear
  Since then the furry marine mammal
   Has been treated at Arctic Health Care

Here is an update that may interest you
 After six months of meds and therapy

I'm a polar bear, just that.
          Don't ever call me bi-polar
      or I'll angrily maul you to death!

            Take a...

I hate this life with a growing passion.
Its my fault. I made it this way.
Ive lost my compassion.

But like that hardly matters now, with my face against the ground and a knife sticking out my back.

Your betrayal.
A quick slap to my already cut face.
I feel...

The windchill is 45 below sanity
a snow man has frozen snot
dripping from his 1 carrot nose
but the cold doesn't stop the gun toll
in my sweet home Chicago.

27 dead across the Midwest
Frozen solid in the echo of their final step.
A snow shoveling heart attack,
took out a...

Standing all alone,
On the edge of extinction;
I'm a polar bear....

His name is Roy and he is my best friend. We spend hours each day pretending to swim. If only he could catch a single fish like the rest of his clan. We swim circles upon circles trying to catch just one. Oh he gets...

My mind
unstable foundation.

They keep talking,
through dreams, comes communication.

A combination,
another citation
never any satisfaction
(Look over here, another distraction)

Formation into another illustration
division by another diversion.

So, what version can take me out of isolation?
(Wait, murder? I thought this was multiplication.)

How many live there now? I need some information.
Because if...

She’s not right.
She has something wrong with her.
She has a screw loose.
She’s got problems.

What is wrong with him?
How do we fix that?
I am no doctor but….

Having several issues myself, I am
Hypersensitive to these kinds of 
Statements.

Yet I hear them all the time.
Yesterday a substitute teacher...

So many voices, some pulling, others pushing, one spearing.
I feel the spear, and know she will not stop until I acknowledge her
What is it? 
What do you want?
She gives me some directives knowing I will rebel 
and rebuke them.
She never gets her way.
She wants me...

Dancing prancing
cry cry cry
Whirling twirling
die die die

Up on the roof top
Laughing with maniacal glee
Saddest moment ever
Keeping this to myself, as you can see

Shopping, buying everything in sight
Wishing someone would unplug me
Or turn out the light

Life of the party, collecting strangers all around
Falling fast, and hard,...
