Defenders of the night

A poem about a story I will write in the future, about the defenders of night.

They stay with you in the darkest night,

They move in silence, out of your sight.

Soft, cuddly and funny from plain view.

Don't let their soft furry skin deceive you.

When you lay in rest, in the dreamland.

They are ones who protect you from evil 

that lies below your bed and beyond.

They are the ones who take the last stand.

When you see them in store you just don't have a choice.

Mommy please get me those soft toys.

Just wrote down, not even a poem.

Aha, I see where Blue suggested you read Limbo.
Contrary to the image you had provided in this poem, I still imagined the being you described as more of a nightmare rather than a guardian until the last line, which is good! I adore the unexpected. I assure you, it has nothing to do with the way you portrayed the poem and more to do with the way I perceive things. Upon a second reading I've found that your descriptions are akin to describing to me something that could be out of Toy Story. I enjoyed this, well done, and it certainly is a poem, New Theory, aha. Keep it up!

Yes.... exactly, now that I think it does sound similar to toy story. Must be in my subconscious mind while writing it. I am a huge movie buff and I think my writing will always be affected by all that I have seen even when I am not consciously trying to do so.

Thanks ... for the review, really appreciate it.

Wow. Good to know. You are welcome...:)..................

I like the idea of soft toys being the defenders of the night. A splendid poem...:)....................

[New Theory]

Thank you Sami for the review, I have wrote the story that was mentioned in this poem, hope you like it too "While you were asleep."

[Brokensoul]

wow, this is an interesting one. Teddies could be the guardian angels protecting us while we sleep. This was really imaginative one and what's best about it is that the poem seems has a sinister note in the beginning but it's end in a surprisingly cute way. And the picture is so apt. thanks for sharing

[New Theory]

Thanks so much for the review, the reason I asked you to read any one of the two articles was because this poem and the story "While you were asleep" are based on the same idea, I hope you like that too. :)

[Shaquana Adams]

Aha! I like what you did here. I wish I read this as a child, it would have been even more entertaining. Great write!

[New Theory]

There is always a child in all of us :P . Thanks for the review :) . The story related to this is "While you are asleep" I guess you will like it. Feel free to check it.

[Mirna]

I love how you are still one of the few who truly care about imagination. this is wonderful!! and I can't wait for the story :) keep it up!! xx

[New Theory]

Poems are as we find them... not write them.

[New Theory]

Thank you Chris .. point to be noted :) :)

This really got me! At first, it was a bit of a mystery... and yes, I do agree with Taite Ryens, that it was described as more of a nightmare than a guardian until the last line. But the last line, it was the best! It had to be! You really made me believe that teddy bears are our saviors through this piece. Its a fresh piece with a out of the box theme. Really nice work! Loved it! :)

[New Theory]

Thank you Just Me .... :)

Have you read Limbo by Taite Ryans?
It's got a bear in it that protects the main character with tooth and claw. xD
