This is a fun poem I wrote for an assignment to write a personal poem with metaphorical meaning, and an animal as the central figure. Poetry stretches me. It is not my favorite writing style, but it is good to be challenged.
Mama Bear Mama Bear is a nickname for my grandmother status. It is fitting since I have always been the protective sort. Don’t get between me and my offspring, and their offspring - my grandchildren, For then I will get aggressive and grumpy. I may look cute and cuddly but I can take a stand And when I stand, I am very tall and noisy. I do like honey and berries, And I love rambling through the forest and mountains and by rivers. I have learned to take life more slowly But watch out, I still have what it takes to roar!
So cute, and so like you! Love your poem. Incidentally, Jim is called Papa Bear by the grandchildren! He’s pretty protective too!
Thanks Vicki.
It’s fun to know Jim is “Papa Bear”.
Good one. I can identify with it completely.
Thanks!
Yep, I know you can identify! 😉
Yup, I would be a Mama Bear, too.
Be sure to read my blog tomorrow for an announcement about one of my poems.
You do well at poetry. I’ll look forward to the announcement.
Boy, can all us mothers identify with that poem! Thanks for giving me a parental chuckle of agreement!
You’re welcome.
There are a lot of us Mama Bears out there!
I agree!
A thumbs up!
