Frogs Echo On the Miles
Mosquito populations explode in murky bogs
Their larvae swim with tadpoles in this incubation
This ugly undertaking commanded by their nature
Constant as the day is long and just as distant
Marsh water echos soon produces frogs
As katydids reverberate through forest wilderness
A noise most unpleasant from their leaf like wings
Driven to find a mate
Frogs dominate the world in summer
Devouring every living thing in sight
When they are done
They know how to cannibalize their young
Each tadpole and every frog becomes a meal
Mosquitoes beware
