Poem #46 ((My Olympians Series)
A toad can die of light!
Death is the common right
Of toads and men,--
Of earl and midge
The privilege.
Why swagger then?
The gnat's supremacy
Is large as thine.
-Emily Dickinson
Such an imaginative piece. Especially the first two lines. I love toads! We have a bunch of areas where they croak. All their croaks are so different and funny. It's a favorite past time to go around and hear them.
