Two weeks ago, I posted March, an original poem from an unpublished collection of acrostics about spring. Today, I have the second poem in the collection for you. It’s about a mother bear sensing the arrival of a warmer season—and thinking about taking her cubs out into a world they’ve never seen.
How long have
I slept? How long has it
Been since I’ve
Eaten? I hear the river running again. I must
Rouse my cubs from their slumber
Now…open their eyes to the wonders of spring,
Awaken them to a new life. It is
Time to take my children out
Into the sunlight,
Out into a brighter world they’ve
Never known.

Lovely poem -- I'm very partial to bears, and like picturing the cubs you mentioned. :)
Thanks, Jama! Bears seem so cuddly and charming in children's picture books, don't they? Can't say I'd ever want to meet one face to face!
When I think of bears, I think of the wonderful (and scary) protection of a mommy bear.
