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.

I disagree. Have you seen what some folks are calling poetry lately. Even granddads need soft and fluffy ones now and again. Thanks.

[New Theory]

You disagree with what my friend? Sorry I didn't get your message clearly.
However I am thankful to you for taking out time to read this :)

[UC Poika]

You said it was not even a poem. It is not only a poem, but it is quite clever and relevant. It is a poem far and away above what some people consider poetry. Thank you for sharing.
