Real toads

I want to find some real toads 

in imaginary gardens 

the real toads I imagine 

would be more interesting 

than the fake ones. 

But where would I find these? 

In a real garden? 

This makes no sense 

at all. I can draw toads,

paint frogs, imagine 

whatever kinds of frogs I want. 

But yet, they are not frogs. 

But they are. Stop. Stop

this nonsense. Frog sense

Playing with language, 

but not with frogs. 

Want them to be real. 

So,

I’m thinking of some real toads

And yes, 

I do like poetry.
