Arctophile ... Cuddle

Today’s word is “arctophile” ... ahrk-tuh-fahyl ... a person who is very fond of and is usually a collector of teddy bears. (Dictionary.com) This is a tanka poem. Line one and three have 5 syllables; lines two, four and five have 7. A teddy bear tanka!

Cuddle
From the crooked shelves,
The arctophile’s bears stare wide,
Paddington and Pooh,
(Most famous stars of all time)
Reliable, fuzzy friends.
