David Byrne Poet Rhyme

Teddy and Me

[This is a simple one for kids. I'm messing with patterns and the rhyme pattern for this
is a,b,c,b,c,c,a,b,c,a   the syllable count is 6,4,4,6,4,4,6,4,4,6]

I have a Teddy Bear
With whom I sleep
He looks at me
As I am counting sheep
We often see
Teddy and me
Wee lambs so young and fair
They help us sleep
So we can be
Refreshed for mornings air

Doris Culverhouse February 27, 2010 at 7:59 AM this is cute, enjoyed reading, I like the simple things in life and tend to like the short but powerful poems. ones that are like mini memoirs. like this.

Carolyn Devonshire February 25, 2010 at 3:24 PM This is really cute, David. I sleep with a polar bear; he's been with me for years and is starting to get a bit ragged. Still, he's romped through dreamland with me many times and I won't be tossing him to the curb. Children will love this one, too! Love, Carolyn

Danielle Curl February 24, 2010 at 9:28 PM :-) I have a bear like that. I have often thought that a bear or doll fills the void in empty arms at night. Like it fills a need. Well done, I like it.
