A marvellous fun poem that deserves 100 and more. And to my favourite as well.
Heartiest Congratulations dear Kim. I can see all your toys coming alive dancing and singing.
What a lovely poem Kim. So happy to see it first thing in the morning. So joyful and entertaining.
Nice One. Bit scary. That's me looking under the bed tonight before I retire.
Beautiful poem, Kim, as always. So well crafted, executed and appropriate for children. Very entertaining. I concur with the Poets comments, this poem should have garnered the first place. To my favorites.
Kim, your poem speaks so wonderfully to the child in all of us.1st Place in my heart! Heartiest of Congrats on that achievement & on POD! Great Feats, my PH friend!
I had such a great time reading this one, Kim. In fact, has there ever been a time when I hadn't?
I'd like to read the two poems which got 1st and 2nd places. They weren't MINE, .....were they? ? ? five stars. ;) bri p.s. it's a rare day I look at PODs on PH.
Did you enter the contest? No, so they couldn't have been yours. First place was a lady from Ohio, and second place was a guy from Arkansas.
favorite stanza so far: 'Why don't they move around by day so I could have more fun at play? It would be nice if they would talk and let me watch them while they walk'

Let me tell you something. I happen to have a copy of the book, so I HAVE seen the other two poems, and in my opinion, yours is better than the other two. A wonderful poem for children! Plus, the book shows that you also took third honorable mention for another poem in the same category!
You are very observant, Ron. Thank you for commenting, and I know you will enjoy the book.
Beautiful rhyme for children. It is ranked #93 among the Best Members Poems on PoemHunter today. Congratulations, Dear Poet. It deserves to be ranked #One. I wish it secures the Numero Uno position soon. Congratulations once again.
