Hello my friend

Great entry for the Ode 5-7-5 writing prompt contest. Good connection between lines. The presentation is nice.

One suggestion, to keep a smooth flow get rid of the period....


This here is an ode

about my pet toad who was

a tadpole that growed

This is a cute entry for the Ode 5-7-5 writing. I used to catch tadpoles in the stream near home when I was a child. I liked watching the various stages of those I caught. I would carefully put them back so they could not die.

that's funny.
deliberate incorrect grammar to get message across and to rhyme, of course. Cute, cute, cute, and good entry for 5-7-5 contest.
Good job, and good luck.

This is very short and sweet.

The art is a brilliant visual aide as well.

The best part about this poem is that it tells a story in few enough words to get a brief but fulfilling history of the subject matter. In this case, the cute little toad.

This was a rather masterful use of the 5-7-5

I love your improper English. It suits your poem well. Nice, childish rhymes with 'ode' 'toad' and 'growed.'

Excellent entry for th 5-7-5 ode poetry contest.
