Whispering Trees

Into wild grass of the green woods
       my teddy bear wanted to go
Away from cuddle of sofas and pillows 
    a  real forest he wanted to know.

Let's climb this tree full of big leaves
     branches swaying, in mild soft breeze 
Wish we both had feathers and wings,
      to reach top... of the whispering trees.

So cute, Debjani! Many poets picked the child’s perspective and you picked the bear’s. Congrats!

I love the whimsical spirit of your beautiful poem, Debjani. I remember imagining what it would be like to be able to fly as a child and your lovely poem brought those feelings back to me. Captivating poetry. Best wishes for a win.. ~Susan
