Of Pollywogs

A bull frog set a log a bog
Croaking blindly the surround
Singing love songs into fog
The bagpipe of a bulbous sound

Calling out serendipity
Using natures given song
Fishing pith by suit of witty
And thereby lure a maid along

Ceaseless does he croak his lure
Besting all that croak the same
His voice is sweet and he is sure
This magic melody of aim

A splash has set his heart a thump
A wave has traveled to his door
He roars a rumble of triumph
And leaps into the bank of store

Now one less voice sings the bog
A victory for pollywogs

My wife and I just read that together. She said it's Sooo Cuuute.
I say it's one of the best, and most amusing thing I have read in a while.
It's also one or the most subtly romantic things I've read in a while.

Thanx for the read.

Hi Sy, really enjoyed this! But erm.. what are pollywogs? I don't think we have them in Australia?

The soul would have no rainbows, had the eyes no tears.

Thank you dear.

If you have frogs then you have pollywogs,
which are baby frogs.

polly wogs  use to fill a cup with them and take em home. like turtles rabbits cats rats birds, and kids like me.  surviving and caring for gods children and keeping whats real. his word, not theirs that destroyed.


  been a hard journey   but my faith has not strayed.  dark does bring light and words of need  can be lightened to soul and not lust of body.

My spirit will rise
above the sea~
There will be no drowning
of my soul or me~

The imagery is great, very descriptive and whimsy. Good job indeed. Cheers  - Ed
