Missed

On the tree, dead Poison Ivy leaves reveal a vine that was missed

Toes Outstretched

Morning sun catches slick legs, toes outstretched, frozen in warmth near surface

Suspended

Post deluge, slick hoppers lay suspended, savoring fresh water

Tremble Little Polliwog

Tremble little polliwog
the pond's Great Bass is nigh
and if he should to catch you up
you certainly will die

But wait, ahead some reeds so stiff
that should you wriggle in
could be as strong as prison bars
and protect from tooth and fin.
