set himself a mission -
he was going to climb
to the top of a cushion.
The dolls were concerned,
perhaps he should stop,
but the bear was going
all the way to the top.
He packed his bag
with a drink and a snack
and hoped they would last
until he got back.
He bid farewell
to the dolls and the toad,
did a little warm-up
and hit the road.
After two minutes
the bear had enough;
I'll say this for the dolls -
they tried not to laugh.

ReplyDeleteLove it. Keep well, Diane
ReplyDeleteHad a dream about a black bear last night. It was trying to chase me at the beach on a lake. I kept backing up an yelling at it to stop. Good thing in dreams bears fade away without harm. - Margy
ReplyDeleteLove this little bear who had these "ideas" that some to nothing! They remind me of some of my ideas. Am lucky not to have these dolls around, because they would be laughing a lot! Your talent is to bring an idea through a poem in a way that is innocent and palatable for people. Love this post you share with All Seasons, Have an inspiring week, Jesh
ReplyDeleteI hope little bear is proud of himself for getting as far as he could. Good for the dolls for keeping their amusement in check. :-)
ReplyDeleteLovely cushion and adorable bear! Sweet poem, so sweet............
ReplyDeleteI really thought he was going to make it. Maybe next time! Love the bear and the pillow is outstanding. You should sell them. I'd be first on line to buy one. Gorgeous!! Hoping you're well! xo
ReplyDeleteWhat a huge climb for such a little bear! Lovely colours in the cushion:)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful cushion, and indeed a very cute and sweet poem. Hi to the little Teddy. xx
ReplyDeleteAww, so cute!!😊😊
ReplyDeleteThe cushion is really gorgeous...and I love your poem! Poor little bear...after all that effort to climb to the top, only to them realise it wasn't for him!! Lol
Stay safe and well, my friend!
Hugs xxx
How sweet, you should write a children's book of poems and use these adorable creations!xxx
ReplyDeletePoor bear, I was cheering for him :) He's so cute and the pillow and beautiful, Amalia!
ReplyDeleteI'll try anything as long as I have a drink and a snack! :-) Fun stuff -- thanks.
ReplyDeleteOh bless him, at least he had a go and I'm so pleased he has good friends who support him!
ReplyDeleteThe fact he took food reminds me of Winnie the Pooh and the provisions he and his friends took on their expedition or Jane Hissey toys who enjoyed a Winter Picnic. That was one of my kids favourite books and we had a large number of winter picnics as a result!
Oh, how cute. And I love that pillow. It's so colorful and perfect for Spring. You are such a creative person, Amalia, with many talents.

Your post always make me smile, Amalia...your creativity is so inspiring!

ReplyDeleteGo little bear ... if at first you don’t succeed, try, try again! That is a beautiful “mountain” you tried to climb.

Hi Amalia, it is a wonderful granny crochet. The bear is cute!
ReplyDeleteSandra xXx
So gorgeous - poem and pillow.
ReplyDeleteI love the golden sparks of yellow, orange and red dotted through - lots of variegated yarns used I suspect? The perceived randomness of the colours gives your cushion a sense of brightness and vitality. Lovely!
Que buena idea Amalia hacer un cojín con grannys, me gusta mucho los colores.
ReplyDeleteBESOS
Dearest Amalia, of all bears I admire here, this one is my favorite.
ReplyDelete...and yes he has a Mission in this time of Corona. He bring happiness.
Of course the wonderful Poem too.
Stay healthy and well.
