Toads Poem

Ballad of the Burly Toads

In the heart of the shadowed wood,
Where ancient oaks have long stood,
Dwell the toads, both stout and wise,
Guardians under the starlit skies.

With warty skins, like armored knights,
They roam the woods in the moon's soft lights.
A chorus deep, they proudly sing,
In the night, their voices ring.

Toads, the keepers of secrets old,
In their eyes, stories untold.
Through fallen leaves, they make their path,
Guided by instinct, nature's math.

In each hop, a tale of time,
Of silent ponds, of muddy clime.
They speak of rain, of earth's deep core,
Of the cycles of life, of lore.

Beneath the moon, they hold their court,
In a world where fairies consort.
With each croak, a spell they weave,
In the tapestry of night, they leave.

As dawn breaks, they find their lair,
In the hidden nooks of the wood, so fair.
The ballad of the burly toads,
In the heart of the forest, forever abodes.
Toad in majestic mood
Toad in majestic mood
