This brings back memories of my childhood when my cousin and I would catch tiny little frogs and bring them home. A couple managed to sneak inside the house to the dismay of my mom. She'd start screaming for one of us kids to come get the frog out of the bathroom. Congrats on your win, Milton! Blessings, Kim M

Hmmm...my advice would be never to bring little frogs into the house, Kim. Never! Thanks so much for your sweet comments and sharing this story.

In subject matter this haiku is as authentic Japanese as an English version can be. Excellent. / Maurice

You are so good with these short forms. I tend to be a bit to verbose. ;0)

Thanks for the compliment, Richard. I work with what I have. I don't write Haiku often; it has to be something that really strikes me or awakens a memory.
