I might be the victim of circumstance and sirens, but I'm sure of one thing: That Bible seller gives me the ribbit-jibbits.
All poetry is fresh as a frog from a bog. No AI, all orig.

i should not be here
croaking at your window
i know it's too late to save us
if you could spare just a kiss
i would live heart broken
somewhere not here

frogs hop on the sidewalk
at their own risk
when you share a world with giants
crossing paths can be fatal

far too many
people in my life
told me who i should be
never seeing what i am
that such company
turned me to a toad
seems less a mystery
now i have time to think

learning the hard way
propaganda at best
of a world intellectualized
and companionship relegated
the way would not be so difficult
the stone so cold
nor the journey so fraught
with a guide an advocate
teacher who keeps safe
the student learning in practice

As the cricket’s song fades,
spun in gossamer’s snare,
time suspends, thin as air.
The web’s delicate hush,
where dust motes softly gleam,
holds a librarian’s dream.

sticky discs

exhilaration but pain

the rough of bark
hold not the tactile bliss

to be enchanted
is it ever only curse
or would the rest

drinks wine
and you fall
asleep fine

i asked the crocodile
why they cried
they replied
i let millions of pounds
of food rot while they starve
i took sick babies
from mother's arms
i sent their children
into needless war
i sold their soul
for more debtors scars
and here the tears welled
and they do not like me
