Doll: "Teddy bear, why must we sit here on this shelf?

I'd rather be amusing myself."

Teddy bear: "We are here to lessen a tear for a little girl so dear."

Horse: "Or to keep a boy from crying,

For their love I won't be denying."

Doll: "Then I'll sit here for my girls

And while I wait I'll fix my curls."

aw, cute poem! Original and funny.

The rhyming is almost perfect, and ........it's cute! I don't really know what to say. I especially love the Teddy bear's comment.

Keep it up! Just a question: Why is this poem categorised under "Fanfiction?" Am I missing something? :)

Don't stop writing.

Hmm, I just I didn't know how exactly how to categorize it so I hope it in with fiction cause dolls cant talk. Anyway, glad you liked my poem don't forget to click "like". (:

Hey.

I don't think this should come in humor, nope nope, I'd expected something funny. This was kinda serious talk. Anyways. I liked the idea, why don't you extend it a bit? Won't it be better, of course it would lol.

It's a Toy Story thing? I guess. But whatever, no tech glitches, it was nice. Liked the rhyme scheme with dialogues and all.

Good job.

Keep writing and stay blessed.

xoxo

Haha thanks I didn't know where to put it so I put it in humor...sorry I will correct that. :P

AutumnINK Here for a review....... rhyming is important in poems and you did that very well that way the reader enjoys the poem more and must continue reading. the dialogues between the characters is quite good but im more impressed by the toys care for their owner potraying them as more than plastic or wood by giving them a heart.

"Teddy bear: "We are here to lessen a tear for a little girl so dear."

Horse: "Or to keep a boy from crying,

For their love I won't be denying."

Doll: "Then I'll sit here for my girls

And while I wait I'll fix my curls."

This dialogue entails all the poem is about "a toy's duty" well done.

Hello Autumn thank you for reviewing my poem! I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)

Hi! This is my first review, so I will try to make it count! I really liked this poem. The dialogue wasn't really my favorite though, switching back and fourth by showing what the toys said how you did. I would try to make it more poetic and make it flow better. I wouldn't know how, but it's a good idea. Anyways, I really liked it! It's a really good idea. Your rhyme scheme is really nice, except it kind of gets thrown off at one of the lines. But, good job!

Thanks I will try to make any necessary corrections. Thank you for your review! :)

Dear Nunyabusiness,
I will review on your poem. I like it very much. It was very whimsical and creative. The rhyming was very good. The rhythm was good, though a bit confusing and rough. You did a great job on this poem.
Speaking of poems, I have written a poem titled "Kingdom Beyond the Mountains". Please look at it and comment. I would deeply appreciate it. Some tips would be helpful> :D
Good luck and keep writing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very truly yours,
fantasydragon01

On a totally unrelated note, I love your profile picture. It is so fantasy-ish. I am a DIE-HARD fantasy lover!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Haha thank you........it's Zelda. ;)

ooooooooooooooo---ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
