i have so much respect for people who can write haiku (probably anyone who isn't me!!) and this tanka is so successful... helped of course by the cutie picture - ah.
-
you have a great perspective on things that most take for granted. its refreshing to visit your poetry.
-
Oh love this picture and your memories and reflections of them......Excellent piece enjoyed muchly...
Your photoku always my favorites Hugs,Sherry

Back again to photoku man your writes always make me believe that sometimes word can have so many meanings for so many feelings, I can see that in this great piece.
-
what a cute pic and great write
-
This invokes a greater thought which a traditional haiku could not. The real purpose of Tanka as I understand it. I love this; its simplicity and hidden contemplation definitely appeals to me! Playful yet powerful image.
-
Good piece, can't help but wonder. After the bear cub enters its cave, will it still be the same playful cub that emerges, or an old wiser bear?
Very enjoyable pic and words.

Hey, I just realized something. I was joking around about calling you Grizzly Adams from now on but if I called you Grizzly Baird, that would be darn close to "Grizzly Bear." Coincidence?? haha (Insert Twilight Zone music here.)

I guess the cub will wake up no longer a cub....
Great shot, amazing that you could get it. This is a sweet poem; I like how the line "pleasure in the setting sun" could refer to the bear's pleasure or yours. And the best part: the title! -
YAY more photoku ..tankas ..
Cute bear.. feels free... but also .. mournful...in a way. -
This was very cute and the picture is gorgeous.
