Bears amaze me. They look so cuddly, but I know they can be extremely dangerous. I would not want to walk up and pet one. LOL I enjoyed reading your poem. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.

Comment from Tim Margetts
What a great image in words and picture this is, Cecilia.
We don't have bears, our biggest native predators are badgers and in Scotland they have wildcats.
I would love it if we had bigger beasts around here.

Tim,
Thank you for the wonderful review.
It's interesting you don't have bears in the U.K. I guess in a way that's a good thing though. They are quite scary.
In our national and state parks they have bear boxes. If you are tent camping this is a place to store your food. You wouldn't want one of those pesky creatures tearing your tent apart looking for food. It would be enough to piss a girl off.
I appreciate you.
Cecilia
Comment from Karen Cherry Threadgill
The pacing and syllable count is uneven. The best thing I was told when I first got here, was to read our poems out loud several times to here if the flow is good.
The plot of the story is fine. But, the Grammer needs some work. You would not believe how bad I was at first.
Love you too. Put away the doll with the really long pins :-)

Thanks my sweet friend. I appreciate you. We still need to get together. How are you enjoying that rotten snow right now?

I didn't even know it snowed. Wow. Don't forget to drip all your faucets. Holey Moley! I guess I will not order my groceries today. I don't want to send any body out in this. Yikes! The stairs are covered in snow, I see accidents waiting to
Happen. Karen

Karen,
My son just got home from work and said the roads are horrible. He says, "They haven't been plowed" I said, "Duh, they don't have the equipment for that"

Evidently these bears are skilled fishermen and have success catching fish as they fly up stream to mate. I enjoyed your action packed post Cecilia, love Dolly x

Comment from Sugarray77
I enjoyed reading about your Brown bear, Cecilia. The rhyming scheme is well chosen, but I would say that in the first stanza, the second and fourth line don't rhyme very well, whereas, they do in the other stanzas. Just sayin. :)

Comment from mermaids
It is so rare to come across a poem about a bear and a brown bear too. Your words take the reader into the world of the bear and create a clear picture of nature. I like how he is grumpy until he finds his meal, reminds me of me when I am hungry. Excellent poetic form and a smooth flow of lines.

Mermaids,
Thank you for the great review. I think we all get a little hangry when we are hungry. Yes, Mr. bear change his tune after he found the salmon stream. He is quite crafty when it comes to catching his food.

Comment from tempeste
Ciao !
I love the words slumber and lumber, verbs that describe well a bear's winter sleep and its gait.
In Spring brown bears eat more winter carrion, root, bark, and budding flowers.
At the end of Summer and all of autumn brown bears hunt salmon to fatten up so when they go to sleep for three months (Oct, Nov, Dec) they feed on the fat they gained. They also eat a big amount of berries.
The salmon instead are returning home against the current ..jumping helps them pass over obstacles like a small dam, rocks, debris in the stream etc...
... she wants to spawn/ release or deposit her eggs that the male then fertilizes. The salmons then died, leaving nutrients in the water, they feed other animals..... nothing goes to waste.
Bears usually eat just the skin, brain, and eggs of the salmon which are the fattest parts.
PS. forgive me if I rattle on but I love to watch BBC National Geographic (wink)

Tempeste,
Thank you for the great review. You rattle on all you want to. You can educate as we go. I don't have cable or satellite so everything I watch is on a stream. You go girl.

The weather is good for the bear to hunt.The bear will never be hunger. I like your ryhmes of every other line (nap/sap.).
I like the photo. I like that you like bears.

Comment from royowen
Yes, they are pretty clever, better at catching fish than me, but you have a great post that speaks of these bears who seem to know when the salmon are returning home to spawn, beautifully written, blessings Roy

Roy,
Thank you for the great review. Yes, God created all these creatures to use their wits to get food. The bear is quite clever and will succeed in getting food.
In some of our national and state parks they have bear boxes, so if you are tent camping you have some place to lock your food up at night. I would not want to get woken up by a bear foraging for food.
