Bullies

Stagnant...as the water of a springless pond...waiting...covered in the culmination of surface slime.---deborah burch©7.19.17

Stagnant springless pond
Covered in green surface slime
Still bullfrog waits

There are a lot of frogs and tadpoles in a lake behind a school near my hometown. Your haiku reads like an accurate description of that lake.

I like the image you create, Deborah. I am sure that bullfrog is up to no good (that's what the slime is suggesting to me) and his wait won't be in vain! Hugs // paul
