Some Bear Haiku - Haiku, for those not in the know, is a 3 line poem, first line is 5 syllables long, second line is 7 syllables and last line is 5 syllables.
See below for examples:
First poem (should be read in Japanese accent for best effect):
Japanese bear pome*
five syllable and seven
always about bears.
* (sorry had to 'cheat' but actually this is an authentic word in 'Bearspeak' meaning 'poem')
Long years of wisdom
belied by his furry face
hidden in his eyes.
Look at your teddy
Is he just a lifeless toy?
Or something much more...
Astonished round eyes
Reflect the light and shadow
In their button depths.
One ear flops forward
The other ear flops backwards
Can't help but love him!
Mysterious bear
So much hides in that stuffed head
Deep, timeless, knowledge.
A full tummied bear
Soporific, yawns and sighs
Time for a bear nap.
and on that note - I think.... bear bedtime! ;)
Wow! These are really good! You should make a mini Bear haiku book. Really love them.
