Ah! This is terrific entry. A lively tempo with great meter and rhyme. I love the lines:

"Blackbeard again!" I think with a chuckle.
"Oh where is my swash? Oh, where is my buckle?"

Good luck!

What a lovely poem. Nice bouncy rhythm and simple to follow, making it good to read aloud to children. But even though I'm not a child, I really enjoyed reading this and it gets my vote.

I hesitate about clicking on that six star rating, but why not do it? I've read a lot of poems on site and I do believe this is faultless in every way.

Wishing you luck in the contest.

All an adventure story, told through the eyes of a boy and his teddy bear. A delightful day to remember.
Cute and cuddly nursery poem!

    Thank you. Expert? Mayne, or perhaps just a big kid.

'Teddy Bear' is a delightfully written piece. Not until reading this did I realize that a teddy bear's life was so exciting. It was a pleasure to both read and review a work of this standard.

How cute! Shades of Christopher Robin and Pooh Bear! My favorite lines:

"Blackbeard again!" I think with a chuckle.
"Oh where is my swash? Oh, where is my buckle?"

The picture was precious and fit your poem perfectly
Luck in the contest
