Pages from the Diary of a Frog Crazed Poet

 

songs day and night
among the water lilies
frog serenade



I pretend
to conduct the symphony
—
cicadas and frogs



leap, Mr. frog
—
not even your voice reveals
your hiding place



relentless
—
the monsoon and frog songs
day and night



out of my way toad
while I plant water lilies
a lark sings



I am counting
little green frogs all night
—
Sleepless in Avondale



two black beady eyes
stare into my baby blues
—
this is frog hell!



chirrup
—chirrup!
even in my dreams
the din of frogs



frog songs
—
if I stop listening
will they go away?



in his paintings
Monet left out the frogs
—
blessed omission



gourmet delight
—
in my frying pan
frog legs



silence at last
—
in my watercolor
the frogs do not chirrup
