I first read this poem with the exception the last line was "And a frog got smashed" in Boys Life magazine about forty yeas ago. And yes, I remember because I have been telling it to people all these years. I found it because I wanted to know who the poet was!

HG, I read it again... The same feeling came. "Poor Frog" This one is quite nice. It brings on the emotion! With Love, Dane

HG- Poor Frog! Everybody seems to love frogs. Of all the places for the tree to fall, on the frog. It must have been his time. I choose to believe that there is a froggie heaven... even though, I sometimes wonder. No, there's got to be. This is a touching poem and quite analogous to human life. Good Write. Love, Dane

There's a lesson in this witty write, HG. When youhear the thunder and see the lightning, take cover! Very nice short verse! Love, Carolyn

Poor frog! Great light poetry HGarvey ! Ya know,..I've been trying to figure out, how I might write some sad moments in my life,..I think I may have figured it out with your poem here ! TY,..I don't know if I can though,..because I have so much romance in my thoughts,....but I wonder at times. *smiles* james
