The Kissing Gate

Toad Nonet

My response to the Secret Keeper’s Weekly Writing Prompt #34   Each spring, toads leave hibernacula, Take a trip from rock crevices, Leaf piles and drains to gather In ponds, streams and rivers, Some with eyes of fire. Writhing webbed feet Melt my heart, Make me Smile.   © Kim M. Russell, 2016 Image found on forums2.gardenweb.com
