Bear

A Poem by Soren

As ah walked one day, in ma way, a bear ah found
E looked starved, as 'is dinner didn't wish ta be carved, so ah turned around
Ah 'ad no gun so started ta run but knew it couldn't last
One look at me and e could see ah wasn't very fast

Didn't 'ave time, a tree ta climb, ma 'eart began ta pound
In a rush ran through the brush but e was gaining ground
Thought a death, could smell 'is breath almost on top a me
E grabbed ma leg, ah started ta beg, but 'e didn't hear ma plea

Ripping with 'is paw, like a saw, e was all tooth an claw
A terrible fight, oh but how 'e could bite, on ma bones did gnaw
Thought ah was done, the bear 'ad won, but as ya can see
Asked how ah got away, ah have ta say, the bear ate me

Thanks Fabian for the read and yes they do. Sometimes ya just gotta write what ya gotta write.
A captivating write! The story of meeting the bear who was very hungry is finely narrated and depicted. Love the very unusual use of language as in 'ad or 'ave, it enriches the story! I so enjoyed reading and found the story highly humourous, Soren. Thank you for sharing, dear poet...
