Teddy For All Ages
Quadrabox poem
Tales teddy tells
From things I’ve seen
Places I’ve been
Tales I can tell
🧸🧸🧸🧸
Tiny tots sleep
Kept in their arms
Holding me tight
All through the night
🧸🧸🧸🧸
Teenagers too
Best friends sometimes
Trusting in me
Secrets kept cold
🧸🧸🧸🧸
Adult teddy
Tales I could tell
Things that I’ve seen
Secrets as well
🧸🧸🧸🧸
[A/n: I was introduced to a new form of poetry by Mike Singleton and tried one of these a couple of days ago - here. "The One, Two, Three of Love."
I then thought, is there a four-by-four version of these that suited my OCD personality better? I couldn't find anything, so I invented the 'Quadrabox' poem. Same structure but four - (4 syllables) x (4 lines) x (4 stanzas) in the poem.]
Till next time,

Unofficial Challenge: What would you do if you were rich?
I love the kind of work I get to do in my career, but as I job search and browse apartments again due to another understaffed and unsustainable work environment that I did not intend to get into, my daydreams of better days consistently lean into the same question: What would I do if I didn't have to worry about my basic needs being met?
