For last week's assignment, we had to write a poem based on a news story. You can read about it here. Basically this black bear was spotted roaming around the greater Seattle area, and eluded his trackers for quite a while! (I heard tonight on the news they finally caught him... it's been at least a week!)
Some phrases in this poem were borrowed from the original story, but it's mostly in my own words. (Part of the "point" of this assignment was to create a "found poem" from an old article, taking certain elements from the original source.) Enjoy!
Urban Phantom
Urban Phantom
Rummages through garbage
Scavenges for snacks
Lumbers over flower pots
Not your typical intruder
Fuzzy black bear
Spotted by joggers
Magnolia to Ballard to Shoreline
Where's he headed?
Pursued by police, dogs, wildlife experts
Urban Phantom gives them all the slip.
