I Like Frogs

These creatures begin life as tadpoles in a lake. What a radical change in morphology they take! They lose their tails, and grow rather long legs. Age makes a big difference from fertilized eggs. They usually come out with the vanishing of the sunlight. Do you hear their croaking sounds at night? These amphibian vertebrates are known as an “anuran”. Frogs have existed on the earth longer than man. Inspired by another member's poem

I like frogs too, Robert, even when they stick to my windows and cheep. Wonderful tribute.

Team Poetrysoup inspired me to write this entry. One of their "poems" was titled "Frogs". After I clicked the link, it led me to a one line statement "I Like Frogs". I decided to write something based on that one line.

Did you here the news that frog populations around the world are becoming decimated? I like your praise of these animals. I have been a member of the NWF for many years. Thanks for translating your poem. Peace & Blessings Matthew Anish

Ah, I remember gigging for frogs with my dad when I was little.

Have you ever seen an African Goliath Frog? They live up to their name.
