The Fish Are Biting

In Spring, a plethora of colorful wildflowers begin to bloom in the country. The soil has a rich, earthy smell, for April showers have washed the pungent cow manure deep into the ground to nourish the crops. The songbirds are brooding their clutch of eggs; and in a few days, I'll hear their hatchling chicks squabbling over a meal of caterpillars and worms. Soon, their flight feathers will fill in, and they will flex their wings, preparing for fledgling and the miracle of flight. Before long, they'll soar into the heavens, touch the face of God, and achieve the impossible. Summer's heat is on its way, and the hearts of young children are beating wildly in anticipation of a fun summer, enjoying a well-deserved vacation from schoolwork.


the sun shines brightly pollywogs morph into frogs... the fish are biting

The truth, I read to much into pollywog, and tadpoles being black I am not so sure I have, it being North American dialect for a tadpole. Apart from the latter, you dropped the s, off it. Having given my critique I really did enjoy it, me being a bit of both in my time, in fact, watch birds period. Congratulations Emile on your placement and thanks for participating, Mick

Thanks Mick, I'm from Canada and I've used both pollywog and tadpole to describe the larval stage of a frog, (A common summer thing), I have never associated them with anything else...sorry but you read too much into my use of pollywog my friend, Emile.
