Bear crawling Belly slithering Low and slow close to the ground Shower soaking Sunshine storing Pulling in the strength around For the journey to the pond where he spawned some years ago Life cycle on repeat Instinct leads the urge to sow The path is fraught with perils The journey long and hard He cannot fight the pull that calls him from the start Over river, road and country Epic journey Daring feat Spawns a generation Life cycle on repeat.
A toad crossed my path (literally) last week and stoked a fire of wonder in me, so I had to pay him homage this Sunday rhyme time. In all likelihood he was on his way back to the pond where he was born, a journey fraught with perils which toads make at springtime in order to mate. If you’d care to hear more about my walk of wonder and my encounter with Mr Toad, I’ll be writing about it in my blog next week.

Aaw this is so evocative Rae….I feel for him and his struggle
I love frogs too. I used to get so excited as a child when we would gather frog spawn and then watch them change from tadpoles to cute wee frogs, still love them now. X

It’s amazing watching their transformation isn’t it? I remember watching them in our pond when we were young.
I like to think he made it! x
