Polar Bears

for children, mostly

Polar Bears

Polar Bears roaring towards the sky
White and clean
Sitting on barren glaciers
Arctic wind gusting from the north
Mosses and lichens coating the ground and rocks
green and orange
Crusty like dried paint
Goes to sleep
Wakes up on thawed permafrost
Swims in frigid water
Below blue ice
to catch the fish for cubs
And again the next day and the next
