Short Amphibians Poems

I'm a frog, you're a frog,
Everyone's a frog-frog,
On a log, in the bog,
Hiding from the dog-dog....

Frog and Toad were on the road
When they met a Chinaman

   He said, 'Harro. How do-you-do?
   I nevel see two flogs rike you.'...

Wash Those Froggies, Wash Those Froggies,
Dirty Froggies Get Eaten By Moggies.
Don't Be Mean, Get Them Clean
While You Read Your Magazine....

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....

Story of frogs, toads, salamanders and newts   
Crocodiles, seals, beavers with flutes.
These cold-blooded moist skins
Amphibians with twins
Live on land and sea in custom wet suits...

This is the best smile I can manage.
My image will be used for the campaign.
"Save the Rainforest!"
I'm proud of ourselves, the most appropriate advertisers
for we live both in the water and the land: Amphibians

So I repeat -

"Save the Rainforest!"...

Now to the world of the amphibians

In search of my dear web foot friend

A native of all lands with countless fans

Croaks in tears and nears his dead end

 

Now to the fresh water and pond

In search of my web foot friend amidst the fog

To the rescue i come like the legendary bond

to save my web foot friend the frog...

Our forefathers were sailors
they were travelers and warriors
the amphibians of the archipelago.

The sea was their playground
they swung their Krises blades
the enemies cannot missed.

They love peace 
and they live by peace
they fought to defend faith.





I love you peace. Let's sail together. Layag Sug!

Teacher, teacher what are you doing there? 
You'll never find Mr. Goodbar in that snake pit.
Preoccupation with admiration is making you late.
Stop this insanity, madness abate.
Anticipating a prince but getting a frog
Absence of clarity
Walking into a thick, dense fog.
Trusting and naive
The amphibians deceive
And take your very breath from within you
So much strife, the end of life
And never finding that Mr. Goodbar....

Iriomote Cats are listed as, critically endangered
They are only found on, the Japanese island of Iriomote
and they inhabit, subtropical forests that cover the island
and they are a subspecies of, the Asian Leopard Cats

Iriomote Cats hunt, amphibians, fish, birds and reptiles
using the genes of their ancestors, to swim and climb trees  
and they cannot retract their claws, but they do attract those flees
Their biggest threat is from vehicles, that cause a fatal impact...

Similar to how
Platypi secrete
Poison from their
feet
the heels of your lips
rips my heart
apart
soul surrender
modern art
Poison guise
covert convalescence
from the claws
of your eyes
Laws of lies'
essence
intrude to conclude
an earnest feeling
dealing with the fact
that I love you
deeply
And much like Platypi
I am often confused
for something
that I'm not
but
in love
with you
this I'm as certain
as Platypi
are to amphibians


which they're not...

I brought home an axolotl
In a thin-necked ketchup bottle
Then I could never get the damned thing out.

I broke up with the mute Egyptian
Found his code was a crude encryption
Read the story of the life of a silent lout.

Waddlin' toddlin' down the track
End of the line and halfway back
Marry or bury me, I don't care
Fiddlin' a middlin' Irish aire.

Caribou smoked on a barbecue grill
Fed everyone from the curlicue mill
Then got stuck going home on the roundabout....

I don't believe the present day depiction of the dinosaur
with its very intimidating, very loud roar,
because dinosaurs were reptiles, and I know this much for sure.
There are over 8,950 present day species of reptiles,
and a soft hiss is the loudest any of them roar,
except perhaps for the amphibians,
aquatic reptiles who are vocal very often
regarding territory claims or when seeking partners for mating,
but they are hardly roaring. It sounds more like they're singing....

I love the sea,
the sea of my ancestors
the guardians are everyone
not alone the sea gypsies 
with the warriors they protect
they are amphibians
who will fight.

I am sick of the opportunists
loving my sea is not about race
it is about my pride and heritage
no one else will gonna love as I do
except those are truthfully true
from the blood of martyrs
they were born to set you free.

To you, my beloved Sulu Sea!

I love you, peace. Let's sail together. Layag Sug!...

The presiding deity makes a dry run
for a meaningless pride of frightened
amphibians, under the mud, on the clouds
who have no faces, no limbs.

The citadel laments over a spiritual arc.
You might get out of the battlefield
with a blue eye and trembling gestures.
The black guilt with a love letter arrives.

The voices sting. He was arranging his
white flowing beard, ready to make a compromise.
The ravaged landscape now waits for the 
green rains, matching the stoned remedies.


SATISH VERMA...
