Manic Monday: Tree
The winter winds howl and sing
So cold I can't feel anything
Might be better for me
If I hid in a tree
And slept all the way until spring
I crawled on the limb in despair
In hopes I could hibernate there
I shivered... then what?
Just got shot in the butt
Some hunter thought I was a bear
Is that your warm cabin I see?
Can I come in? I've gotta pee.
I'll only stay
Til the first week in May
Will you share your hot chocolate with me?

See, it ain't easy being a bear.
A fun poem there. Enjoyed that.
Haha. I suppose I will not be hanging out on a cold tree branch.
Nice poem. Want some hot chocolate?

Bear: So I see!!
AnthonyNorth: Glad to hear it. :)
Polly: The wind chill is awful up there!
DaOldMan: Yes! Do I also get a warm bed in a fully furnished guest room with down comforters and fluffy pillows and cable TV, or would that be pushing it? :)
TheFlyingMonkeys: I did! :)
Stanza 1...poignant.
Stanza 2...irreverant.
Stanza 3...silly.
Travis: Ahhh! Just as I hoped. :)
Excellent! LOL
Nice poem Janna. And I also wish snow tasted like gloriously yummy raspberries (does that go along with the bear theme?) Anywho, Kyle and I made some fabulous hot chocolate the other day, we'll have to make some for everybody once ABC starts back up!
MyAutismInsights: Glad you approve! :)
Morgian: Better yet, invite me up there and make me a gallon of hot chocolate while I sit and vegetate on your sofa!
