I came across this bit of writing I did a while ago and it seemed to fit my mood today. I am thinking about my project and getting excited as the steps go forward.
Even Toads Can Dream
Behold the Green Toad
with his rhinestone crown,
Flicking his long red tongue at
every passing gnat,
while dreaming of long-limbed princesses
with blond hair and luscious red lips.
Who is to say what dreams are out of reach
either by bony fingers or even green-webbed ones?
