Week Ten Poem: Tree Frog Wizardy - string of 'ku

Expectant twilight
spring eve blushes like a bride
awaits tree frog trills

Tiny frogs hiding
emerge into the evening
to hum a few bars

Tree frogs seem at first
to sound a little rusty
try and try again

Spring’s nightly chorus
a melody is forming
tree frogs sing as one

Tree frog serenades
call daffodils and redbuds
baby blue-birds, too

 

Tree frog wizardry
it seems they are the mages
to conjure up spring
