Haiku Friday: Bears!

 


I've often thought that our national animal really should be the bear. Bears are much-loved by Americans, after all. Let's haiku about them this week-- whether it is a panda, a terrifying Grizzly, or a familiar teddy bear. Here, I will go first:

Forests would improve
If bear patrols were in charge
Litterbugs would scram!

Now it is your turn! Just use the 5/7/5 syllable pattern and have some fun....

    A sartorial contrast
    No shirt or no pants?

    see Smokey’s gravesite. Who’d have
    thought they’re closed Mondays?

    Sis had a teddy—
    “Poopsie Bear Growler”, who shared
    Bed and kisses then.

    The bear noir carries
    Truth of the forest : Humans!
    Garbage gourmets thrive.
