Love Song

 So many things to ribbit at 

within my wetland habitat,

so many sights to stir me to a song -

the dragonflies, for starters,

dazzling dancers, rainbow darters 

yet I keep my froggy lips closed all day long. 

 

Swirling skaters loop-de-looping!

Here’s a hungry heron swooping

and the teal and regal kingfishers above,

handsome mallards ducking under 

yet I float in silent wonder,

not a croak for any other but my love.

 

You will hear me when it’s dusk-y,

I may sound a little husky 

as I sing my song of passion ‘neath the moon.

Hear the heart-ache in my “ribbit,”

it’s true love (I’d never fib it) -

how I hope my froggy-lady hears me soon.
