Thank you, Andrea!...Is it Spring yet where you are?...I'm in Chicago, where every day is a tease: Tomorrow/Sunday it'll be 56 degrees and almost balmy; then it'll be snowing by Monday morning. C'est la vie. :) gw

Thanks, Line...And congrats to you on 'Systems in tremor:' Those horrific unanswered possibilities, which earned you a well-deserved FIRST trophy prize. :) gw

Well done, Gershon,but we've not seen the back of the snow yet. Poor frogs. Viv

You're right about that, unfortunately, my man...And I still can't stop howling your 'sweaty candy frog on the popsicle stick'--a really well-deserved winner! Best of everything, gw

17 syllables Gershon ;) That was the most difficult of all to judge, re those that got through to the third round, congratulations on your joint 2nd place... Mick

Mick, much appreciated...Your contests are most challenging, so a winner means a lot. Best wishes, Gershon

Your imagery immediately brings to mind spring, but it's curious that I have always thought of frogs as prince, rather than King before. Not aware of that until your haiku.

I'm sure you're spot on here, Caren...I guess I let the Rhyme Muse get the better of me a bit: Kings, commencing, cling. Oh, well: The sacrifices one makes in the name of poetry!! (Ha, ha. That's rich, eh?) Thanks for reading and for your encouragement. Appreciated. :) gw

Thanks...Just trying to follow the guidelines of the contest and still inject something into the 19 syllables...

I've never attempted a rhyming haiku Gershon and your alliteration is lovely:-) hugs Jan xx

Interestingly, I didn't attempt to rhyme it either; it just happened...Thanks for noticing both the rhyme and the alliteration....:) Gershon
