A Frog Adores a Bog
Sky squeezes wet clouds and showers drip
through fingers and drop on earth’s grip.
Drops peer through nerve ends to starving earth’s soul;
soul fills in and crust moistens
and drops slip on her skin.
Brooks fill in, fields spill; canals feel thrilled;
crabs bounce, fish pounce and cranes feel chilled;
trees bend their heads, their hands and their arms;
sap oozes through their stems, roots and palms.
brooks pump the river
river spills and floods marshland ~
frog adores a bog
