Best Tadpole Poems

Little tadpole 
wanting to run and leap too early, 
how does it feel 
trying to breathe 
  when your lungs ain’t there yet ....

Fable of Tadpole and Lily

lily bed pillowed
wading time on the pond's breath
tucked in pole's warm pool
utopia kiss unwrap
a frog soon took his flower

That was December! 
One tadpole swimming alone
In the blue spa....

The frogs have laid their spawn. 
Those little jelly blobs looking very good to eat,
like caviar or canape, extravagant, a treat.
They lie close by the waterfall damped by its spits and spots, 
those hundred little jelly blobs, those black eye'd jelly dots.

The frogs had gone...

Tadpoles swimming,
so freely on
this cool breezy
    morning.

So many of you,
I see, wondering,
how many of you,
   will survive,

growing into toads,
or frogs will really
bring life to
this pond so grand.

What speed you
have as you
swim around
tadpole city.

The Tadpole,
That Never Became a Frog
Written: By Tom Wright
2006

I have tried putting myself in another man’s shoes,
To experience the pain about their love for brews.

The primary thing of which I always think,
Is the time of day I’ll take my next drink.

I’ve forsaken my children and...

Tabitha Tadpole can't seem to get it right
She has been a tad slow for her entire life

While all her friends are out playing leap frog
Tabitha has yet to see her tail fall off

All the ribbits that she hears makes it very clear
Tab can't seem get...

Jane told me of the exchange they had with Derek, earlier that day--guess who showed up that night--hehe. 

I told you guys, Jane's a talker, and that's how Clint got smarter. 

Along with other fellow workers, that night there were two guys plus me, my...

Ten tiny pollywogs
Happy as can be
Along came an alligator
Ate up three.

Seven skittish pollywogs
Beneath a lily pad
Up swam a rainbow trout
They all died sad....

He has great expectations and dreams
They are to be accomplished
Blockades and obstacles are to be dispersed
He is smarter than his wisdom and effort
He forces his way through 
Pushing down, kicking and stepping
He is a man, a frog that cannot jump 
But used to walk
But tries...

I was told, 
To meet a tadpole,
Who slept on the slop,
Near the north pole.

Done! I said
And went ahead, 
Marching in the freezing dead.

I walked, I hopped
And I stopped,
realized,
My mind's plot.

A dream's fantasy
But comforting in reality,
A solo journey
Travelled in sleep....

there was a young toad named Joad
who began life as a mere tadpole
one day it is said
he ended up dead
the protein in a Blue Heron’s casserole

lying on lilies
lazy and luxurious 
feed my senses curious 
listen to my pond
drips and drops a harmony
rain on tadpole colony
