dragonflies
fear the lone bullfrog
the tongue like
a whip – snap!
ambush hunter
snags his lunch
bellows, “jug-a-rum”
Fear fits into Mary Lee’s month long challenge.
Tomorrow: Cholla
Jone, the bullfrog is a hungry critter today at your site.
I love listening to the “jug-a -rum” sound at dusk! And you got in the other ll word in bellow!
Will have to look in on Mary Lee to see the connection. Thanks again!
BULLFROG
A bullfrog’s docile countenance
Camouflages its ravenous fury
When their spaced out peepers
Mark out buffets of varmints
Scampering in the wild.

The prophet Jeremiah was an apt name for a bullfrog. They both had tongues like a whip.
I love the cross-pollination of yours and Mary Lee’s poetry challenges. It ramps up the creativity!

Funny thing, my poem about surprise for tomorrow is shaping up to be a dragonfly (larva) poem!
