Teddy's not a Bear: Poetry Monday

 

Poetry Monday's once a week.

I bet you know which day.

I don't participate every time,

But today I've come out to play.

My friends assign each week a theme,

Teddy Bears is what they chose.

Now it's up to all of us,

to put our thoughts into prose.

 

 

Teddy's not a Bear

When it comes to comfort,

kids love a soft teddy bear.

Ours was not a bear, per se,

but our Lambie could compare.

Lambie soft and comforting,

soothed most every mood.

Similar to how we adults feel,

when we're sreved comfort food. 

 

Everything Bagel Pasta Salad

 

Every time we traveled,

you can bet Lambie was there.

Until, oh no, he wasn't,

then utter and complete dispair.

On a layover we lost him,

it was I, who just freaked out.

Frantically searched everywhere,

but boarded our plane without.

Called my mom in a panic,

and the assignment, she took on.

Quick, find another Lambie to

replace the one that's gone.

Yes! The very next morning,

Lambie'd flown next day air!

But that first night without him?
Let's just not go there.

Long relegated to the closet,

(quite against his will),

let me just assure you that,

Lambie's with us still.

 

 

 

 

Wait!

Read more poetry, 

you're not through.
