The frog sits on his lily pad
Buzzing and bumbling
For a lady friend
.
He lets out a big bellow
And falls into the pond
Many things he sees there
The world turns upside down
.
Water goes upward towards the surface
Greens tickle his nose from a stony sky
His eyes are lamps
To an underground world
.
An attempted noise
And water fills his mouth
Eyes big
Floating upwards
Bidding farewell to the watery sky
.
Above on the lily pad
Flowers pink with petals
In and out
Breath from the blue sky
Winking clouds
Over a bright sun
Glimmering off the mucus
Of the frog’s potential mate
Green as the algae
Of the stony sky
