There Be Creatures There

*an Axolotl from google

At Real Toads, Ella has given us the coolest challenge: to write a poem about a fellow Toad and see if others can guess who she is. I have no short term memory, so in order to remember details, they have to be really unusual. This may give it away right off the bat. Here we go: 

This little fellow may 
greet you at the door.
And there be creatures there
with toe pads that cling
to smooth surfaces.
Take care one doesn't fall
down your neck.

A precocious child
rules the hearth
and communes
with her
lovely spotted dog.

And someone with a guitar
is totally rockin' out
in the living room.

A Green Thumb
works overtime
in the summer garden
and home is 
where the heart is,
but her favorite place
is the open road.

  10. Super poem, Sherry. I'd have to guess MZ, too, because of the geckos and Baby Puppy.
    Well done!
