Such a charming write.
I especially like the use of "swash" and "buckle" here:
"Mummy, my Teddy and I will be playing
Outside in the garden," I hear Molly saying.
"We'll prob'ly be busy; I hope you don't mind.
There's pirates to battle and treasure to find."
"Blackbeard again!" I think with a chuckle.
"Oh where is my swash? Oh, where is my buckle?"

Thank you - some lines come like magic and the swash/buckle line was one of them. I actually patched this together in haste with the deadline only minutes away - the whole thing took less than two hours.

This is a very lovely poem, and I enjoyed reading it very much. I'm sure children would love reading this or having it read to them. Good luck with the contest.

Comment from snoopy lover
OHHHHH! I loved this poem! It was just great written from Teddy's point of view and in his voice. I loved the "pirate" words: esp piratical and scuppered! I also loved the dolly's name, Jemima, and Teddy's interaction with her at the tea party. Flow was spectacular and word choice to die for. Thank you for a very well-written work!

Thank you for your enthusiastic review - maybe I could write a Snoopy poem next - although I've already been booked to do a sequel from Jemima's point of view.

Snoopy poem? Wow! Or just as good: Woodstock. (I even have a tiny Woodstock tatoo discretly located on an inner arm. Don't tell anyone!)

I'm guessing Evan is your little boy - I have been pleased to hear that several reviewers have road-tested this on their kids/grandkids - my only grand-daughter is a thousand miles away, but I look forward to reading it to her one day.

Three collectors and a maker so far - no wonder this is getting good reviews.
Comment from healfromwithin
Very cute. Nicely worded with an authentic sounding voice. The meter/cadence was handled well. I didn't find any major SPAGs to note. The mental visuals were great. Write more kid's stuff - this was darling.

You may be onto something, HFW - I have only done about three real kids' pieces and they have all rated through the roof...
Thanks for the kind words.

Thank you.
Did I hear a rumour that you are not in the best of health? If so, my thoughts are with you in your recovery - try snuggling up with a teddy bear - it's sure to help!
