plunk and peep of frogs
whispers in the reeds
songs sung by leaves
Marsh Concerto
To Sing The Colors Of Spring
the peepers of spring’s color
are the frogs
waking in the vernal pools
singing the song of frondescentia
The Pond Opened For Song
opening ceremony
the joyful croaking chorus
of peepers peeping
Frog Song
rain on
peepers pond
the chorus crescendos
Winter Dreams
in the comfort of cattails
keeping watch
frogs and fish fast asleep
Mossy Logs and Pollywogs
the verdant pond
green soup of life
Debut
Next year’s chorus of peepers
waits and gestates in the watery wings.
Open Door
The pond frogs serenade the cows
with an early evening lullaby
when the barn doors are open.
