Toads to Sleep

Gone are fuzzy bees

And chirping crickets,

Leafy trees,

And shady thickets.


Gone are thunderstorms

And sprouting seeds,

Mosquito swarms,

And millipedes.


I knew summer wouldn't last

And in the cold would creep.

But who's ever ready for the winter blast--

That sends the toads to sleep?

Thanks, Donna! I’m no poet, that’s for sure! I just wanted to try something a little different! ❤️

I do not care much for poetry, and find it difficult to understand/appreciate. I like this poem a lot. This one makes sense- and sounds perfect.

いいね!
