Bleak black fur
Glazed with ice
A slice of the sunlit moon
Strolling iceberg
Over sea of ice
Eyeing seal dives
Dancing the night away
Under bickering auroral hues
Flashing across stellar skies
Melting seas of snow
Submerge snowscapes
Burying bears in snow
Bereft of the thawing Tundra
Stranded on a tropical isle
You wouldn't know a polar bear from a black bear!

- Comment from author about the poem: It's International Polar Bear day today and it's high time that we realize the need to conserve these beautiful beings by protecting their natural habitat. Interestingly, polar bears are born with black fur that looks white as it reflects the snowy white landscapes that they inhabit. In this poem towards the end I've imagined how dark the polar bear would look if it was found in the tropics ,away from its snow-filled abode.

Given the trajectory the climate is on, the only polar bears alive will be in zoos .... I admire your concern given India is about as far away from the arctic as it is possible to be.
Thanks for the reminder.
Thank you for your appreciation dear poet🥰
Don't delude yourself - there's nothing 'dear' about me....🙃
