Hot, steamy, and crispy,
In the gravel at the edge of the road,
Lies the dried leather carcass of a toad;
Hot, sleepy, and sweaty,
As I hung my head and drifted away,
Unto the dreams of a glorious day;
Cold, heavy, and deadly,
The brakes they squealed but the school bus hit me,
And all that I really was came to me;
...............Like the toad in the road.

This was... rather different
Comparing yourself to a toad on the road seems like a new idea to me
Best of luck and thanks for entering my contest

Hmmm...
It is difficult to place yourself at the level of a toad even though you are improbably alive after being squashed. Still, road-accidental death is just that: a toad on a road. Difficult realism.

Wow, this was filled with imagery. Kind of abstract as well. This poem made me laugh out loud, and I enjoyed this. If this just came off the top of your head, you're weird, but weird is good
. Great job on this and good luck in the contest.

Nice top pic. It made me giggle a little to myself. I like this piece. It was simple, yet I could follow the story and I actually could envision it. Excellent write and good luck in my contest.

Heh, I hope this wasn't fiction based on fact! Hopefully the performance of your investments hasn't pushed you into diving in front of speeding school buses. I really recommend a good cup of hot chocolate with a lot of marshmallows!

Nope, just a recollection of my feelings about school back when I was in Jr. High
; a rather awkward time for me I'm afraid.
