Teddy Bear, in bright red twas gently clad.
Meeting at Mart. Friendship was had and brew.
Were together then, and together glad.
Happily brought up, together we grew.
Batter mine heart fluffed precious Teddy.
For your sweet glare comforts my dreary day.
My walk from year one, to twenty steady.
my help? I always have you for display.
Kleenex and tears. United and agree.
Through strange and weird, the adolescent phase.
Together, one the same. We're on a spree.
Broken friendships today, always amaze.

The English (Shakespearian) Sonnet (Form instruction by JM Kenyon, and a Answers.com search for iambic pentameter.)
since i'm a first timer i donno if i even got the concept right. and since i have no family that would know more then i do...
ehem, anyways. if there's a point of the sonnet form that i'm missing or something, i won't be crushed if you point it out

Aww so sweet. Sounds just like me and my favorite stuffed animal i've had since kindergarten. It seems like that is the only thing we can come to for anything.

I liked it.
Ah the noble Teddy Bear and you made it come to life in this poem so I think you have a winner. It was lovely to read. This reminds me of childhood and the things we love.

I'm struggling with the sonnet too...Seems I either can't get the hang of the rhyme scheme, or my count of syllables is off. Be very proud of yourself for even trying. I'm afraid...verrrry afraid.

I love it! that is so cute. Lovely language and the rhyming is really sweet. Well done a really sweet and gentle poem :

Awwwww

I have to admit sonnets are not my strong point at all But this is a beautifully done ode to teddy. I really enjoyed it

To have the gift of writing your thoughts and feelings down this well is a blessing...to have this ability at such a young age is outstanding! Well done dear poet. Your poem is lovely.
