Tonight's Poet Corner: Sonnet Solstice #414
The War Bear
by Belinda Roddie
The war bear is primed and ready to fight!
Her armor is pristine, her claws sharpened,
and now, she's ready to take on each knight
of the Silver Kingdom. The day will end
with bloodshed on the battlefield, and this
means we shall handsomely reward Ursa
with berries and, of course, the finest fish
from the river. We love her, and vice versa:
she is our queen, our savior, our delight,
our fav'rite. And once the war has been won,
she'll hibernate through winter's day and night,
while we drink and revel until the sun
has risen. Our war bear is cheered in pubs,
while she rests after having sweet bear cubs!
