Deep in the forest
Hidden in the trees
You’ll find a fuzzy creature
Its eyes agleam
Wandering around its home
Its yellow heart begins to ache
For no one wants to play
With a banana hearted thing
Salty water fills its eyes
Soft whines escape its snout
It too is a bear
That’s a promise to you all
And just because his heart is different
Doesn’t mean he doesn’t care
Hidden in the trees
You’ll find a fuzzy creature
Its eyes agleam
Wandering around its home
Its yellow heart begins to ache
For no one wants to play
With a banana hearted thing
Salty water fills its eyes
Soft whines escape its snout
It too is a bear
That’s a promise to you all
And just because his heart is different
Doesn’t mean he doesn’t care
During freshman year my Creative Writing instructor had us draw a fruit and an animal, then told us to write a poem about them. I... got a bear with a banana for a heart.
