Five Ways of Looking at a Polar Bear -created by the NIWP Fellows 2009

Listening to him to hungrily suck in air
as he breaks the surface. Hearing his
paw gently pat the glass as he
wonders on our strange faces.

With powerful muscles
(well oiled machines), the Polar Bear
lumbers across a
frozen land like
albino locomotives

The Red-stained snout
of the boar reveals
its hunger

Shall I compare Thee to a snowy day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate.

Terrible
Sweet
