Sorry, but it is not in the submitting entry where it states SUBMITTE TITLE an it filles your title in big bold black letters, so when I look at the new poems I will not accidently read it.

Hi eve, thank you for the win, i am a bit confused as i did put nursery rhyme at the end of my title as shown in 'my poems' link. but thank you anyway, your comments are very much appreciated. I used to make little rhymes like this when walking my children to school, it kept them happy and they forgot they were walking to school instead of being taken in the car. sneaky but happy.xxxx

Janine, You are an astute observer of nature. You have expressed the movements of a toad, especially the eyes very accurately in this wonderful poem. I enjoyed it very much~ Warren
