Little tadpole
wanting to run and leap too early,
how does it feel
trying to breathe
when your lungs ain’t there yet .
lying on lilies
lazy and luxurious
feed my senses curious
listen to my pond
drips and drops a harmony
rain on tadpole colony
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
Sitchity kritchity plackety pooh
my cauldron is full of warm soggy green goo
spickety spackety hackety who
I’m turning a young tadpole into an old ewe
I stood peeking through the keyhole
and saw; mommy and daddy roll
in bed playing leapfrog.
I wish for a hotdog
I'll wait and go catch a tadpole.

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.
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

. . . crisp leaves, toss, crackle
tiny, telltale rain puddle
tadpole tails wiggle . . .
Oh, the vexing amphibian -
from the Nile or Caribbean.
Is it a toad or a frog,
a tadpole or polliwog,
a newt or salamander,
crocodile, alligander?
Oh, the vexing amphibian -
from the Nile or Caribbean.
shallow old river,
a tadpole wanders afar~
hungry fish swim by
peaceful and quiet
waters flowing from mountains
dark ducks are swimming
little ugly grub
sheltering wild winter's cold:
lovely chrysalis
just a scribble
"O those!" Simply do sigh the old
And sense-dulled, among us.
Of wonder a revelation
We newly come upon.
To be bottled, placed in a book
Tadpole; dry pressed flower.
"Earth things". But whose worth's magic
Is, boy, girl-eyed cosmic!
... tadpole wiggles its tail
'neath the reed's
faint ripple
itching to leap, to croak
till its lungs
puff purple.
... from up a nest chirping
a fledgling aches
to fly,
swift swallows swish by,
swooshing up
to the sky!
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.
chirping from up a nest,
a feeble chick longs to fly,
while swallows swish
and swoosh in the sky...
as a tadpole wiggles
by the reed's faint ripple,
wanting to leap, to croak,
till its lungs puff purple.
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.

A more simple time
Easier smiled through.
Could it otherwise appear?
Whose air, echoing, more clear
Freedom's shout. Friends drew.*
Daring wanderer's;
Undespaired about!
Home door, ma? Dusk-oped, received.
With nothing bought as retrieved
Pond, storm drain from out.*
* Large green spaces
* Tadpole, ball
How we grew to be bears
in each other arms,
we don't believe
in fairy-tales
but our skin upon
skin & our breathes,
when I am upon
or you flip me......
My God lays in
the blue lagoon
of your flesh,
I swim in,
like a tadpole
to a story
never told.
A woman
made flesh,
I give my respects
God,
if it was you....
Tadpole tails flap!
Lightning strikes, zip-zap!
Showers rinse, splish-splash!
Gulp, sip from sun's cup!
Boing, flowers spring up!
Forests rumble~
Bambi's hustle!
Branches rustle~
Thumping bunnies!
Crack, chicks hatch!
Chirp, birds tweet!
Bleat, lambs leap!
Wildlife
revives,
speaks!

escape
is impossible
when the night strikes
and the dew frog sinks
vomit in the pool
of drying water
dumping itself into the sky
mocking the tadpole
starving them of water
sucking them into the dirt
as the sun watches them stumble
dare i say, even leeches
deserve a better fate than
to dance in a pencil sharpener
filled with salt and ashes
Hot peppers and spicy horseradish
a gut-punch to the solar plexus
Snake venom with moldy cheese
not tonight, if you please...
Tadpole skins and locust larvae
strains my stomach of iron
But a bloody Mary eggnog combo
gags the esophagus of this Hawaiian
Wonder how I developed my bizarre sense of taste?
~ A flush of the toilet for whoever said, 'Haste makes waste'
Everything changes
From a seed to a flower
From a smile to a laugh
From a minute to an hour
Everything changes
From a tadpole to a frog
From a caterpillar to a butterfly
From a puppy to a dog
Everything changes
From a puddle to a pond
From a house to a city
From an ugly duckling to a
swan
Everything changes
Dont you see?
From a raindrop to a
thunderstorm
From a baby to me!
A tree mast broken
Changes pond to pillow fast ...
The frog is asleep
The lilly pad swims
And toad applauds toad in songs
The moon will rise soon
Water turns to dream
Light kisses the heart of leaf -
Tadpole becomes groom
Lilly blooms sunlight
Frog calls mate and hug to leaf -
Day weds dawn and moon
A lilly leafed hope
The frog sang and perched in pond -
Silver falls the rain

Into the little pond I jump.....Landing with a noisy… plonk
Legs go up…… legs go down
I can go like this all day…. Treading water all the way.
Now you see me ....now you don’t
Who am I….can you say ?
Here’s a clue … to help you find your way.
I change color frequently…to blend in with the scenery
Can you guess who I am ?
Think…… Geddup.…..Think.
A little tadpole learning how to swim.
See my grin?
a tadpole wiggles its tail
by the reed's faint ripple,
wanting to leap, to croak
till its lungs puff purple;
from up a nest, chirping,
a birdling longs to fly,
as swift swallows swish by
and swoosh up to the sky!
