Frog's Monologue


Emerald green, he gleams
With rich, vibrant hues
Sitting by the water, he dreams
I wonder about his muse

Singing to the wind and stars
Joy seems his greatest skill
Maybe he is really from Mars
His voice is so loud and shrill

Echoing faintly on the night
Laughing in the shadowy dark
Gracious, he shines so bright
He should be someone’s trademark

Lively and filled with inspiration
Imagine the feeling I awaken
It could be he is some relation
To one who his heart has forsaken

Whoever he loves, however he lives
I know this frog is wise beyond his years
He offers prayers and always gives
Kisses to the girls with pig’s ears

There is a saying that is told to us all
“You must kiss a lot of frogs
To find your prince charming” – Call
Whoever you know to this frog’s monologue

At 5, my daughter had a frog she raised from a backyard tadpole in her garden. Croak he was named. I might copy your poem and send it to her at school She would love it. She loves to draw frogs. I am especially fond of your first stanza, it a great way to introduce your poem and its bright happy picture Ribbit! I enjoyed this poem a lot.

Regina, this is charming, delightful. A lot of us frogs out here -- I feel somewhat vidicated by your splendid poem. Don't believe I can ever again hear a frog croak...and not believe an angel has spoke.

Hello Regina ... I do enjoy listening to a chorus of frogs at sunset, although around here frogs attract snakes. My grandson told me a friend had to have warts removed because he kissed a frog - thank you for your fine poem Regina - Lindsay
