Sad is his lot, who, once at least in his life, has not been a poet.

Listening To Learn 
"A meeting was going on in the forest. The
Creature-beings were trying to sort out the problems
caused by the latest migrations of their northern
neighbors that were affecting their food supply. The
Great Ice Mountains made it necessary for the northern
Relations to flee the cold of encroaching glaciers,
forcing them into the territories of these concerned
forest dwellers.  

Magpie was chattering away while the other creatures
listened to her recent experiences. Rabbit then added
his point of view, complaining about having to ask the
newcomers to respect the needs of creatures who had
always lived in this forest. Chipmunk piped up and
reminded the others to focus on solutions that would
allow everyone to be fed. Fox and Wolf agreed, each
adding a solution, while Squirrel gathered all the
information. Bluejay noticed that Bear had not said a
thing.  

Finally, Bluejay asked Bear why she was so silent, and
Bear replied, "I'm listening and learning. I don't
need to talk; I already know what I know."
