Teddy Kimathi Poet Free verse

Teddy Kimathi

"Teddy" is a name that gives you a cartoon-like
impression of animated bears of all sizes and colors,
who have a weakness for honey,
sometimes their hands getting stuck in the honey jars...
Well, during the time of Plato and Alexander,
the name "Teddy" meant "God-Given".
The English can give James Bond "Teddy" for it means
"Wealthy Guardian".
"Kimathi" is a Kimeru name, which means "the one who gives".
I give you all my love and blessings during the Christmas festivities!

Andrea Dietrich December 2, 2015 at 6:31 PM No , my sister Thea is not a teddy bear kind of person at all!!! that is what makes it funny, and she hates being called Teddy Teddy Kimathi December 5, 2015 at 4:38 AM Hahaha. There must be a reason she's called that way....

Andrea Dietrich December 1, 2015 at 3:36 PM You did a really nice job with this challenge and I enjoyed the poem. My sister is Theadora, and somehow our dad started calling her Teddy!! I love how you related this all to Christmas. Teddy Kimathi December 2, 2015 at 2:57 PM Lolest!!! Does your sister has a Teddy-like personality, or does she love Teddy bears very much? Thank you for enjoying my poem and making my night! *^_^* <3
