I like the comment on global warming, and think it's really interesting that you had the poem inside the picture, and I'm kind of surprised that the site would let you make a post without writing anything in the "poem" text box. I would think it would give you an error and say that it's a required field or something.
I am a little confused where the "death" from the prompt comes in, unless it's the iceberg having melted.

The artwork with the embedded poem IS in the "poem" text box. No, not an error. Thanks for noting though. Yes, global warming is a death in and of itself. The bear on the ice floe is likely to die when it melts and leaves him in the middle of the ocean, yes? :))
Thanks for a thoughtful review.

Yes, I suppose he will.

Ohhh, such a picture your poem evokes within me! There is something so intense about the death of such a magnificent animal! Good work with the prompt and good luck!

My computer just went crazy. I may have already submitted part of this review. I apologize. What I was saying is that I think that this is the cleverest of the entries. My literal self wants to ask, "Why didn't he swim away before he got too separated?" Then I step back to appreciate it for what it is. It is charming and funny. The title sets the mood. I love the use of "hapless" and "cap." You humorously raise the issue of global warming, which could kill so much of nature. This entry has it all. The more I look at it, the more I like it.

when will we stop destroying the polar bears' home...well done poem and I really like the use of the word cap and its double meaning, which I am assuming you meant (stocking cap vs ice cap). beautiful!

Love it - how sad is the demise of the polar bear - maybe it will find a way to survive but certainly not an honorable one. You yank at the heart as good entries should - best of luck.

I can't read the last stanza which makes it hard to get the meaning or to interpret this poem. I could barely read the first two stanzas, but, it was didficult. Don't forget that a lot of people on this site are retired. As we age, our eyesight gets worse. Thank you for sharing. I suspect the polar bear gets stranded and dies. Thank you for sharing and best of luck

Hi,
Sorry for the trouble reading. It varies sometimes from one computer to the next. I have the same problem sometimes myself.
hapless polar bear
drifting to sea on ice floe
too hot for a cap
There's what it says. I just love to overlay the words onto the artwork. Sometimes though it does make it hard to read on some screens. Thanks so much for trying to read and being kind enough to give me the benefit of the doubt with the rating. Very much appreciated. I hope reading the actual words doesn't change your mine. LOL
-
I like it! Thank you. But, I do recommend making it easier to read. Cheers
-
Hmm. It's embedded in the artwork. But, what I WILL do is add the words to the notes in case anyone has trouble reading it. Thanks for letting me know. Much appreciated. :))

I think this is a good entry for the 5-7-5 Death in Nature writing prompt.
Your sad tale is too true and well told in your few well chosen words.
Good luck to you with this one in the competition.
