Array ( [sid] => 139904 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Teddy [time] => 2008-01-19 04:11:52 [hometext] => [bodytext] => Two scuffed black, endless and infinite eyes
Peer from across the room
From his frail, fantastic figure. Patches
Of fur missing: a cigarette burn here,
A tantrum there. He is alone, unique,
A bear.

My bear.

Stuffed with laughter and tears,
Hopes and fears that only a young boy
Can know. Hugs one day, anger the next…
And yet you are still here, steadfast
In loyalty and love, two bead eyes
Staring through me.

Your nose is becoming unraveled
And your arm has nearly fallen off.
And what do I have to offer
But a throne upon my bed
And a passing glance from time to time.
I could learn something from you, bear.

My bear.

we all have our 'bear' well mines a pink rabbit in a green dress.... i never thought about looking at my stuffed toy that way but we all share our every emotion with them when we're children but we loose our imagination for that sort of thing when we get older... this is so well wrote that it made me visualise every word... well done

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time. Please report poetry and or comments that are in breach of our site rules HERE (Please include poem title or url). Parents also please ensure that you supervise your children well when they are on the internet; regardless of what a site says about being, or being considered, child-safe.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
