Tadpole Nursery

Wow!

Must be hundreds of them.

Fat little bodies wriggling

Their itty, bitty tails

To dig into their mud home.



It’ll be awhile

Before they’re full fledged frogs.

They have some incubating to do yet.

Imagine the sound of joy

When their bullfrog voices

Reach maturity.



I’ll have to come back here

For that symphonic croaking.

Evy-

A symphony is a more apt term for all the music we hear in nature; it's a shame that people who live in cities become so "deaf" to this music that nature often looses any value. I like your line "that symphonic croaking."

Well done.
