Hakiu - a Micro Anthology

~~~~~~ tropical frogs now topical... endangered all sadly... croaking ~~~~ all frogs... leprechauns a lucky one... prince charming rest... green in envy ~~~~ dusk... to sit beside a garden pond... hark... croaking know... your not alone... ~~~~ a toad out hunting frog-let... prospective supper that splash... salvation ~~~~ February... frogs masses... spawning winter... cold water still solid ~~~~ frogs of arctic lands enforced hibernation... freeze awaiting springtime ~~~~ have you heard a frog... ventriloquists throwing sound... there... here... where are they... ~~~~ the pond at dusk... shush... koi feeding... rippled water... bliss... then a frog jumps ~~~~~
