To me this poem is in fact rather cute and I like the childish aspect of it. I don't really understand why you had the title as 'Ode to the Toad' when it is about frog. Other than that I did enjoy this poem even though it was by a 2nd grader. Well done, it even had me chuckling a bit.

It's...err..fabulous, darling. Absolutely outstanding. The best thing posted on this site since when Nate wrote "Test". Ahh, a defining moment in the history of great prose :wink:
Lol. It made me chuckle a wee bit. And TBR, I'm sorry, but....moo? The green toad goes...moo....?!

I think it's cute, though if it's a haiku about toads why mention frogs? Frogs and toads are very different things. The main difference being that frogs are far cuter and most toads are poisonousand tend to attack me. *Hides from the toad pond*

I think it is very cool and random. I like random things. It is very good my stuff that I wrote in 3rd grade is very bad.

Haikus aren't supposed to rhyme. :P So your two mentions of "frog" shouldn't be, because technically they rhyme. Not good. :P

Play around with it a bit and see what you can make of it! :)

I honestly think that , as of right now, when we walk out of the room, I will punch you!

It reminds me of that toad project that I did last year... "Here is a picture of my ugly frog..." *continues paper*

The green Toad goes Moo
Then it will moo an Ah-choo
Blow your nose snot toad

There is my toad haiku :P
