The Bear And Her Cubs Poem by Louis Kasatkin

Winter has returned

and with it the migrating

Bear and her eager Cubs,

their old habitat deserted

the Forest and Wild,

not so plentiful of

natural prey as once was;

They are hungrier this year

the Bear and her Cubs,

the Freeze now starts earlier,

there is less time for

the Bear to feed;

Others too feel the

harsh old Sun,

spending longer hours

tracking the same

meagre morsels;

Urged on by whetted appetite,

they go searching,

searching,

searching nearer,

nearer to the town,

the migrating Bear

and her eager Cubs;

Winter has returned.
