When one looks at frogs, they do appear just to be passing the time of day. Fine Haiku Tahera < I'm fine by the way, thank you kindly for asking > :)

green lotus leaves/ the throne of an old bullfrog/ time passes/// I think I would link line 1 and 2 and change your line 3 which is a mental construct, rather than a sensory perception. Excellant observation.
