"Save The Frogs Day is the world's largest day of amphibian education and conservation action," IGWRT's announces. In searching for some poetic inspiration, I got no further than the word which sits at the top of my 'poem' for today...To any serious scientists who take umbrage, my heartfelt apologies!
Archaeobatrachia
most primitive of frogs,
tiny by comparison
(so Mr Wiki logs)
with other leaping creatures
in ponds or streams or bogs.
Then I read about the origin
of our more modern frogs,
who are called Neobatrachia.
At this point, my mind boggles - I shall hide me 'neath a log,
and hope my brain cells will emerge from this Anura* fog - soon...
(*) Posh name for frog.
I love your play with words in this!
ReplyDeleteHard to find a rhyme for Archaeobatrachia! I love your humor!
ReplyDeleteMe too! Bravo on the research which centers this poem and makes me want to go a roaming before I, too, crawl under a lily pad.
