Square Poems 08: Black Bear Acrostic Poem by Kim Barney
Square Poems 08: Black Bear Acrostic
Bruin of the wondrous forest deep;
Look at him with care before you sleep.
Alert you must be and always stay;
Could he eat you up for lunch today?
Kills your horses, cows, and also sheep.
But he also can run very fast,
Even though his speed won't always last.
A deer would serve nicely for his meal.
Remember, my friends, he's not genteel.
I call these square poems because they have the same number of syllables per line as there are lines in the poem. This is a nine-line poem, so it has nine syllables in each line.

Thanks, Wes. I'm still working trying to restore all these square poems that were deleted when PH added those awful soundtracks.
