Are You Dating A Koala Bear?
A humorous-cum-reflective poem on dating, love, infatuation, relationships and embracing flaws
Are you dating a koala bear?
“Omg! Isn’t he awfully cute!”
I’d love for you to see his grumpiness
Until you’ve had enough to go mute.
They sleep for eighteen hours a day.
Holding on to barks with their sharp claws.
When dating, remember that no one’s perfect.
Everyone comes with their share of flaws.
Love can’t survive on eucalyptus leaves.
They’re known to be very low on calories.
There’s more to relationships than chemistry.
To build trust, you must unpack your stories.
Dare to be you and seek to know him.
Show who you are without your mask.
Have you both gotten over your past?
Each one please give before you ask.
Thank you for reading my poem. If you enjoyed it, you might find my other articles on dating and relationship interesting.
