The Yellow Frogs

The little yellow frogs
are pumping their thighs

creating synchronous ripples
over the lily pond,
it's a musical moment
but a silent one.

A Blue Jay cackles-out,
its scolding rattle
slaps my ears.

The frogs for a short while
croak back,

then return
to their silent work-out,

water music resumes.
