Frog-Flirt

she winks with her right
and sounds her most tuneful croak
yet, he sits unmoved

she tries her fly skills
which should impress any frog
yet, he does not flinch

she gets impulsive
takes a leap onto his pad
yet, not even warts

she is all wound up
she hops away insulted
it is so his loss

Ha-Ha! "Not even warts!" This is so creative and delightful, Diana-Marie. Are you related to Vienna Bombardieri? She is a wonderful lady and a good friend. Hope to read more of your work and thanks for taking a look at mine. Love, Carolyn
