Bear that Cares - A Light Hearted Fool Adventure













Salted seas in the blue mystery of twilight
silent moments as celestial heavens awake
two light hearted fools,  bid the sun goodnight
ghostly  seamen moan from past mistakes

Against a wooden crate, Truedessa drums
spotted cat curls next to her on the deck
Captain Pat, lost in thought softly hums
in the vast universe we are but a speck

Truedessa drifts with  the driving beat
hypnotic trance,  ancient songs fill the air
foamy waves wobbling under their  feet
forming in twinkling stars, the great bear

Aligning heavens energy with earth
opening  inner channels within the sea
Capt'n Pat's eyes twinkling with mirth
spotted cat running around with glee

Within the universe a hidden cave
seven mighty stars,  guide the way
suddenly,  the two are hit by a wave
an alien beast,  arises dark and gray

Evil  giant fish, with two oval heads
spitting seaweed, with a loud hiss
fanged teeth,  could tear them to shreds
causing havoc from that dark abyss

Cap't Pat springs into quick action
drawing his sword,  ready to slice
abolishing this ugly sea attraction
eyeing the cat,  beast better think twice

Spit, spitting SpittiNG 
a net of seaweed around the captain
Truedessa hurries drawing her sword
Pat and the cat now held captive
nasty beast, slowly slithers aboard

Giant  red orbs, shooting fireballs
Truedessa,  screams with all her might
unleashing a giant energy wall
pledging her allegiance she will fight

Cat chews his way out as a fire erupts
Truedessa works on freeing Capt'n Pat
her mind  going into a state of flux
just as the evil two headed grabs the cat

A golden teardrop falls from her eyes
Capt'n Pat trying to extinguish the blaze
suddenly  rain begins to fall from the sky
loud growl,  giant bear appears in the haze

Capt'n Pat and Truedessa  give a quick look
two humongous  paws with sharp black nails
mystical  bear will need no fishing hook
swatting the huge fish against the ship rails

Truedessa and Pat eagerly lend a hand
two headed fish,  losing its strength
one last swat sending him into another land
his defeated body floating at great length

Giving thanks, Truedessa  hugged the bear
Capt'n Pat and the spotted cat  give a nod
drifting upward to the sky, protecting his lair
his cave in the constellation , home of the gods

Capt'n Pat and Truedessa gaze the sky
once again,  their ship is safe from harm
the stars shimmer rare jewels up high
from her tresses she pulls a lucky charm
a bear tooth shines...

  3. O! Love that the bear left a souvenir! I love this image:
    "two humongous paws with sharp black nails
    mystical bear will need no fishing hook

    A foolish fantasy maybe, but such fun to play out with power when you are the heroine!

  6. This one was action-packed, & I do believe your choice of fantastical words resonates with the dVerse prompt; perhaps even my cinemagenic poems would fit the jig, & flesh out the form.

    1. I should have waited for my spring cleaning to take this picture. The koi made it through another winter. Both water gardens are now clean and clear with flowers and rocks all around...and of course, grands. Thank you.
