More Than A Soft Toy

for-More Than A Soft Toy Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Natasha L Scragg 

there once was a child from Adelaide,
who had a teddy called Marmalade.
taking each other by the hand,
they roamed imaginations land:
there, they never turned scared or afraid.

this world they only had each other,
no mother, father or big brother.
on a tandem they would ride,
or they`d walk side by side;
in this world for two, and no other.

they fought a fire breathing dragon,
and rode in an old cowboys wagon.
played with a stegosaurus,
hand fed a brontosaurus;
then fought another fiery dragon.

they took a rocket ship to mars,
and flew all around shining stars.
met a Martian green,
who was kind, not mean;
so took him, in their big space car.

adventures must finally end,
when the sleep fairy calls you friend.
she will take you by the hand,
to enter into her land;
then you`ll say, a happy amen.

This is a delightful, bouncing and entertaining poem full of creativity and imagination. The reader may catch an escape reality buzz from your entertaining, upbeat lines. It is so good that I have to share there's an issue in 1 line, 2 stanza and in same stanza I'm sure you meant to type they'd not they'll. I read it to my son, you gave us both a smile, thank you. Poetry hugs ... CayCay
