This poem, Just the Same, is a sweet remembrance of our first good and faithful friend. when we're kids, differences seem tough to deal with, but we know inside that it's the differences that create the affection we maintain forever. Nice.

I enjoyed your poem about your precious panda bear. Good job on the rhyme & story. Your lines flow well & tell a great story.

In the announcement, it states to use the picture provided. However, it doesn't say that on the rules page. Maybe pm the sponsor & ask. I really believe you are to use the picture provided. Best wishes in the contest. Jan

A very well-written poem. We all had a teddy bear one or other time in our lives. A panda bear was not popular when I was a child, but they are popular today. I remember my fkyffy brown Teddy bear that end up hairless after years of cuddling.

This speaks how a mom remembers her darling and beloved child Charlie, she sees teddy bear another child plays with, Charlie's memory echoes as she sees the same; I liked.

    Nice interpretation. Didn't really consider this aspect. Thank you for a different view.

After reading 'Just the Same', I find that it meets the requirements of the contest and makes a good entry.
This is a great read for young children.
My baby girl is just 22 months old, and the bear she once held as she slept is now put up because she's afraid of it. I'll keep it and maybe when she's a little older, she'll come back to it.
The image shown supports the poem. The background goes well with the picture and color of font chosen.
Thanks for sharing your version of Teddy Bear.
Good luck with your future writing.

Your autobiographical poem captures the childhood memories so beautifully. It flows smoothly and evokes the childhood memories. Good work. Wish you all the best.
