Summer Sighting

He frolicked through the grass
And then he clambered up a tree,
Gazing at the cars all filled
With wide-eyed folk like me.

The traffic slowed so everyone
Could get a little peek
At the black bear yearling (give or take),
The highlight of the week.

It's such a treat to catch a glimpse
Of wildlife in the wild.
Perhaps that bear, confronting us,
Was equally beguiled.
