The Bear Necessities

Two hungry bears are poised to fight
Razor sharp claws, like daggers drawn
One stole a fish, theft is not right
Two hungry bears

They’d stalked brown trout since early dawn
They’re ravenous, and that’s their plight
Last trout had swum upstream to spawn

A tasty trout bears love to bite
But now all the fresh fish have gone
No wonder both are so uptight
Two hungry bears

Duke Beaufort Date: 6/19/2025 10:53:00 AM Jan, you’ve highlighted how situations in nature create drama in life’s survival struggle. Since we’re so capable of solving our survival needs it makes me wonder why humans are fighting as much as we do. I’m thinking we have an anger epidemic. Smiles!!

David Kavanagh Date: 6/18/2025 12:12:00 PM These guys certainly don’t mess around when hungry Jan, unlike Ilene below I would recognise this was one of yours, the (brown trout) being your calling card lol! Don’t mind me it’s an excellent stand alone piece and Roundel! Cheers David
Anne-Lise Andresen Date: 6/18/2025 10:43:00 AM - Bears eat a little bit of everything in nature ... it's not often they eat fish ... so of course there will be a fight ... a nice poem, Jan :) - hugs
Ilene Bauer Date: 6/18/2025 8:50:00 AM i never would have known this was a poem of yours, jan, had i not seen the name, but it's really very well done (not that i'm surprised at that!) best of luck in the contest...
Regina Mcintosh Date: 6/18/2025 2:00:00 AM Oh, this is adorable! Sure to win. Love it. God bless you, sweet friend. I've missed you. Much love, Gina
