TEDDY
Grace has asked us to consider personification and imagery at Poets Pub this week. I've chosen to speak for a teddy bear, discarded as his master grew up and away. Submitted January 14, 2021
Oh so lovely Beverly! I too thought of my old (very old!) bear when I saw today's prompt. I went with imagery so I'm thrilled you did personification and brought your dear bear to life ❤️🙂🥰
This IS good, Beverly. My Teddy hated & tormented me, so I was glad to finally get away, but I'm pretty sure most folks have had warmer relationships. Thanks for sharing!
Oh - this is so sweet and sad! When I was a kid, I used to imbue all of my stuffed toys with life. I couldn't even throw them out when I got older, now they're mouldering in my dad's attic...
That's life ever progressing and changing. It is still good to have a faithful companion by the side! Yes, Bev!

ReplyDeleteThis is so touching Bev. Am sure another young child will find delight with the teddy bear again. Thanks for joining in !

ReplyDeleteI love your poem Beverly... such a great use of the prompt. I like the cycle of life for the bear, just like us!

ReplyDeleteThis is incredibly heartfelt, Bev!💝💝
ReplyDeleteThe adorable sweetness of your poem seeps thru each wonderful line.
ReplyDeleteIt's so sad when we grow out of the generosity of children to the narrow selfishness of adults.
ReplyDeleteYou made me smile Bev, and brought back memories as well.
ReplyDeleteI was never so touched as when I realized my son had taken his teddy (actually a stuffed dog) to college with him.
ReplyDeleteLucky dog! My little teddy bear wasn't so lucky ... sob sob !
DeleteI think the man will long for his Teddy sooner or later. I still have mine :-)
ReplyDeleteAn adorable poem brought back memories of my dolls.
