Sense Sonnet - Acher

Tending To

The little one had strayed onto
The busy highway, and was struck,
And lying lifeless in the view
Of its mother, who without luck,
Had tried to venture to her child,
In the middle of the wide road.
Helplessly, she paced about wild.
Finally, a police car showed.
All traffic was brought to a halt.
Mother and child together went
Into the the woods from the asphalt.
Time enough for the sad event.

Time enough so the bear Mom may
Pull her little dead cub away.
