two bears
from bubblegum
said “let’s explore the world!
from Asia into Scotland &
from everywhere to everywhere” so yeah
they had big fun, crossing the globe
in a marshmallow boat
with chocolate sails
&licorice-
pierced ears
the monkeys mock—
“ooooh, what a waste of time!
they should’ve knitted scarves&gloves
for when sir winter throws his kilt upon
the world it will be cruelsome cold
and in their bubble coat
they will freeze stiff
&square!”
the bears build huge
pink gyroplanes with snow
flakes as their rotor blade&in
the air they swing with felty chest hair curl-
ing funny in the wind&sing
an easy song i can’t
translate //instead//
just sing
along 😉

smiles… ok i had a bit fun with this one… gay challenges us to write to a form that she invented… more at 3pm EST when the dVerse pub doors swing open…
jaywalking the moon 
Ahh I think you wrote to Tony’s prompt as well. Anything with bears I have to love.. And sir winter’s kilt.. I want to go south before it is upon us (-: – cool to have a boat you can eat also
What a delightful morning read….had me smiling.
i like that you finally bring yourself in there in the end…it grounds it a bit…fantastical writing…a bit of zaniness…and darn those mocking monkeys….smiles…
I’ve been the monkey, but O I truly envy the bears their boats and their courage.
I am singing along with you ~ I love the light hearted story of the two bears Claudia ~ I didn’t noticed the form, smiles ~
It sounds as if you had fun with this one. Love the idea of traveling bears. I have a hard time with forms so I shall try and give it a shot later today and see what happens.
These bears are really special bears, I think….with their pierced ears and pink gyroplanes! What fun to read your wordplay, Claudia.
Well, this wonderful bit of whimsy left me smiling, though I dare not check the foot lines or rhyme schemes; just heartedly enjoyed the ride with monkey & bears.
Oh, I see kids playing this little traveling show. Nice ‘diamonds’ :)x
Well this was fun! Your imagination is out of sight and fabulous. And I give you props on the form! I can hear you speaking it (lucky I have heard you, isn’t it? Although you have given everyone your voice in recordings over the years!). I would say you made it work exactly with syllable count and I like your slant rhymes. Nothing felt forced here, or a slave to the form which is what we all aim for. Rather it makes it jolly like a children’s story. I really loved it.
‘crossing the globe
in a marshmallow boat
with chocolate sails
&licorice..’ — oh, this made me smile and smile. delightful!
this was quite a fun read. I enjoyed the visuals and the monkeys’ needs to put in their own two cents.
haha can’t get away from those monkeys, a fun one indeed at your nook.
Yes Claudia you had fun which is so very evident in your poem, very enjoyable.
What a fun take on the prompt!
I am with the bears and their sense of adventure and courage. Woe to the one who dampens their enthusiasm. 🙂
“cruelsome cold’ – oh you!
I wonder if it’s one of the stories you might have told your kids..you will make an awesome grandmother someday..the kilt of winter..nice.
“Sir winter”. Love it. Many thanks.
Greetings from London.
Around the globe in winter might be good. Your write does read just like a sing along. Nicely done.
… ya … winter is coming … greetings from the great white north … sigh … let’s sing … and snuggle … and hibernate …
Whimsy! Love it! “Cruelsome cold” among the many wonderful word combos here. And as always you make it look so darned easy. Reads like the rocking of that marshmallow boat : ) Thank you!
This is so fun and you did such a good job with the form. I enjoy how your journeys touch your poetry.
What a whimsical tale you’ve spun! I enjoyed this.
winter wears a kilt? for some reason St Nick comes to mind 😉 ~
I can imagine you grinning like the Cheshire Cat! Perhaps you were wandering in the hallowed space down the rabbit hole with your dragon guest, Puff? My head is spinning…
