First Friends

Can you dance Mr. Bear?
Yes, when I find some honey in a tree,
or wherever I discover it

My button eyes
and felt covered nose
are more keen
than they may seem.

Is it sweet like me,
this honey, Mr. Bear?
Yes, and I would always share it with you.
I really don't mind.

Good morning, Michael,
I trust that the picture would add to your poem, but I can't imagine the feeling being any clearer or stronger. Your lovely poem reads like a devoted companion, just like Mr. Bear and his sweet friend.
Thank you,
L
(I bought Musical Tables yesterday. Imaginative and inspiring! Thank you for noting it in your last few words of your own inspiring poem, "Little Crimes")
