A Bear

I heard a rustling by the dumpster
But really it was just a numpster.
A bear digging through the trash,
Looking for a snack but instead found cash.


This poem, I wrote because one night when I was taking out the trash at work, I saw a bear. He was in fact digging through the trash looking for what looked like a yummy bean burrito. I was so amazed that I just kept staring at the bear; and the bear didn't seem to mind that I was standing there. I mean he didn't chase me or anything, which I'm happy about because this is my first bear. Which is just lame on my part because I've lived up here for like four and a half years now and people up here pretty much see bears like every month or something. Now I know that "numpster" isn't a word, but I don't know..... its the only word that I could think of that rhymed with dumpster, whether I made it up or not. Its a fun word to say... numpster, numpster, numpster. Anyway, the word I guess means like a prowler or something. And this bear didn't find cash... That would have been cool if he had, but he didn't. I just sort of added that for my own amusement. I thought that it would add something funny to the poem.
Now I'm busy with school at the moment, but I am getting many ideas for this book I want to write and hopefully one day publish, and I'm writing those ideas down.
I'll hopefully be able to write what this book is about without giving anything away. I'm still working on what the climax is and who all the minor characters are going to be. So I will give you more updates on that when I can. But right now I also have to concentrate on my school right now, so I may not write everyday. As you can see, there's a big cap between my first entry and this one.
I'll write when I can, and as school goes, I am working on an English class that focuses mostly on the writing of different eras, which is good time right now to be learning about that; because it will help me more with my writing. I'm also doing some poetry in this class, which is also helping both with understanding poetry and helping me with my writing. In fact, ever since I started poetry in this class, I've been writing nonstop poetry. Its crazy. But its dying down now that I'm trying to focus more on school.
Well, more updates later, back to school so bye for now.
