A Poet Fell in the Forest
When walking in the woods,
you learn to pick up your feet.
Because today, a poet fell in the forest.
He tripped on a root of a tree.
Reaching to recover a few of his ink pens.
Here's wear the adventure begins.
Luck was with him at that moment,
a grizzly bear came foraging through the forest.
Fortunately for him too,
poets, are not on the bear's menu.
Like most bears in the wild,
wanting nothing to do with man.
Started moving away like it was
a part of mother nature's plan.
Getting up off the forest floor,
continuing on his way through the woods.
The poet pulled out a pad from his backpack,
and scribbled a poem about facing your fears.
How his heart raced as he knew not to look
mother nature in the face.
The poem spoke of knowing
when to stand your ground.
He didn't forget to mention
how he tripped and fell down.
Meeting a hungry grizzly bear,
happy he's alive to tell the tale.
He titled the poem,
“A poet fell in the forest”.
This poem is written by Poet: Robert Lee Kinard. I would love to share it here because its such a lovely poem to be shared with the world.
