Snowfield

Written for SenHai Saturday where our host,
Susi, asks us to write a senryu and a haiku using
the image shown below as inspiration.

I almost walked past ….
the tundra holding its bears
like a secret kept

white bear, white snowfield ….
where drifts end, where fur begins,
only the wind
knows

Sleeping Polar Bears

  1. Snow is not this old beach bum’s thing, but your polar bear poems are amazing my friend …

    A Hard Rain’s A’Gonna Fall on Polar Bears

    The foreigners have quietly landed
    Wood from our trees has all been sanded
    We’re a country without doors
    Surrounded by golden shores
    The openings are vast
    The alien’s time is here at last
    I cannot stop them, nor can you
    If it be their will
    Then, let it be
    Join them, do not flee
    We’ll all be hand in hand
    To become the promised land
    So let us be great again
    Do not worry about the hard rain
    Do not consider the faded sunlight
    Forget about the rainstorm tonight
    Who cares about Polar Bear’s with no ice?
    World leaders say “Enjoy now, no matter the price”
