February has slipped into March, and the season of change is upon us. However, Mondays on Real Toads are unchanging, and I am happy to extend the same invitation to all poets to share their work on our forum once again. Add your link, leave a comment and pause to read and share.

Good Morning!! Happy Monday!!
Hope everyone here in the garden has a good week.
Hello! I linked this last week (days after this particular challenge was over). Late, as usual!
I wrote this in the car on the way from reading Dr. Seuss's The Lorax to a group of second graders for Read Across America Day.
I'm going back there on Earth Day to check up on their stewardship...and ask forgiveness for ours.
I wrote this one yesterday. I see more point in posting fresh ones, at the moment. They seem more relevant with regards to my current state of being,
yours,
Crayfish

Hey Kerry and all Toads, I'm on the train going south on the amazing Hudson River and posting a poem inspired by your letter prompt and a poem Mama Zen wrote for the screaming prompt. Happy March everyone, and happy international women's Day on March 8.

good morning, friends. let today be the start of a fantastic week! xo
This is a very old piece from me. I have been archiving my work from 2009 2010 and have come across many pieces which are hardly worth keeping, written as first tentative forays into poetry. I'm not sure whether this one has much merit and I have reposted it in a bid to decide whether it stays or goes. All opinions welcomed.
Tell Jaime I love her photo :D
I'll be back...
I did Susie's prompt-I found it a difficult write~
I will be around~
:D
“Miracle of the Seagulls”
Caught by the throat,
The invisible hand of amazement,
Shook her skirts then,
Blew the sky upside down like a beautiful
Blue bowl~
Her torn sleeves flapped at the height of
the freighted flight
And, the swooping of gull wings...
Zigzagging feet danced jigs
On the green critters-- a crop of hungry crickets~
She floated on their sweeping wild cries!
Sticky and hot-sweaty gold dusted ribbons
Around her mildewed dirt-rimmed neck;
Her sun-bleached hair,
Thin-worn cotton bonnet,
Sun-bleached eyes,
Man-less virgin lips and, trekking hands
Strained at the miracle that hummed
In white, gray, skyscraping circles~
The covenant rumbling wagon wheels
Sang from behind her heat- cracked red ear,
As her persecuted pioneering hearts
Clapped off fields of doubts!
The militant munching music of a million
Ceasing to the wind instrument- birds
And, the desperation of unpicked wheat,
On their dreamland of milk and honey
Flew high over the saints sun-burned prayers,
Loosening the condemning rope of death by a seagull’s beak!
Tardy as always, but hopefully a little late is better than not at all!
Well, it's still Tuesday here. I wore myself out writing a story to go with first photos of our month-long holiday to and in Europe, and there isn't a poem left in me, so I posted the link to said story here.
Glad to be back in the garden, Toads, and hoping to come up with some new things soon.
