Hello there, Steve!
This is a really sweet poem. I was smiling all the time I was reading this. It's really cute. Yeah, I'm sure being a teddy must be a tough job.
When I find time, I'd love to browse through this entire book.
Congratulations on the well deserved win!

JazakAllah Khair~!
(God Bless~!)

Hi Steve,

What a cute children's poem. You did a great job on it and I see you won! How nice! It's always nice to see a person win, even though it's been years since I even won third place. Oh well!

Totally charming. I love the way you rhyme your words, especially "swash" and "buckle". I can see you writing that with a smile on your face and a gleam in your eye. Such satisfaction in creating! And a warm comfortable ending. Nice!

This is a great children's poem as told by Teddy Bear. It's light, and it reads fast. I like how he takes us through the day from sun up to bedtime. It's a hard life being a Teddy Bear. There's so much to do.
The couplets in these sestets work well, with easy breezy rhyming. Nothing looks forced or pushed.
Rose.

Great kids poem, Steve, about a teddy bear named...well, Ted, and his little companion and girl playmate, Molly.

Great rhyming all throughout, with an excellent tempo, nice beat, and a fun story that children of all ages would dearly love.

Excellent work, and thanks for reviving it to share it with us all.

Sound like the makings of a great children's book. Brilliant imagination and flow throughout the entire piece. None of your rhymes seemed forced (maybe china/Jemima)
Excellent work and congratulations.

Hi Steve - This is not just very well written with good punctuation but flows along perfectly and tells a good story. I like the clever way you split the word swashbuckle in the end line of stanza 2 - an altogether good poem that children will love. Kind regards Dorothy

Totally delightful poem. I loved reading it out loud. The story flowed without all those unnecessary words and phrases some poets insert just to make the rhyme. Wish I had a grandchild young enough to enjoy this. Terrific poem.
