   clings tightly to a bare branch --

cattails mirrored, dark pool shone,

I prefer the cozy fuzzy purple towel the tree frog said.
He rolled his red eyes to the back of his bulging old head.
I did my best to please, so I could get some sleep in my bed.
His croaking kept me on my toes though, my grandma said....

Hot, dry summer's day
Finally comes to an end
All the tree frogs come to play
Signaling a storm_my friend
The child screams out the window
Shut-up frog in the shadow
Thunder_lightning_quiet

The tree frog
Sings really loud songs
It sticks with rubber
Stoppers on any surface
Around__sings the rain
Down onto the ground

When in large numbers
Their singing is a pain
It can disrupt sleep
And they can lie about the rain
Lay those eggs  by the millions
On any water source...

The Alaskan Tree Frog freezes solid in winter. including the stopping of his heart...and when he thaws out in the spring...he wakes up and hops away!

There's a shooting downtown.  A tree frog
Chirps.  Two young people discover love.  A tree frog
Chirps.  The Chicago Cubs beat the Toronto
Bluejays.  A tree frog chirps.  A bimbo
On the Internet becomes a celebrity.  A
Treefrog chirps.  Life goes on.  Day by day,
Week by week, year by year.  And a tree frog chirps.

Out on the damp porch at daybreak
Rain pours from the dark clouds
Fog has settled in the valley
A bird sings very proud

A tree frog croaks piercingly loud
Love on his mind this day_
He croaked all night with his lover
Maybe he'll go away(to stay)

Duty calls even though rain drops
Necessary work speaks
If only I could soak in peace
And the Spirit seek__  ...

A heavy fog grasps each plant
Its tenacles wrap around
Laden with moisture it leaves damp
Creeps and crawls without a sound

A golden sun peeks through gray clouds
Exposes thick silver fog
Rises slowly higher in sky
Silent the rain tree frog  

Which presence will win the scene
The fog rising from the creek?
Condensation from the cool rain
Or the sun which slowly peeks?...

smiles, nods with a wink
                                   hides what to see, what to think
                                      squid squirts jet black ink

                       seems what it can seem
                          really there, although unseen
                             chameleon blends in

               green tree frog slides down
                  reeds, tadpoles, wind hasn't blown
                     safe unto its own...
