Frogs Echo On The Miles

Evolution and hunger rise

Frogs Echo On The Miles

Mosquito populations explode in murky bogs

Their larvae swim with tadpoles in this incubation

This ugly undertaking commanded by their nature

Constant as the day is long and just as distant

Marsh water echos soon produces frogs

As katydids reverberate through forest wilderness

A noise most unpleasant from their leaf like wings

Driven to find a mate

Frogs dominate the world in summer

Devouring every living thing in sight

When they are done

They know how to cannibalize their young

Each tadpole and every frog becomes a meal

Mosquitoes beware

the predator and the prey the key to survival

Hi sette! Hope you liked it. I like doing a nature poem from time to time with a certain feel, a certain image. Have a great day. Earl

fun read...out of the murky mire all kinds of creepy crawling things emerge ...now if the gnats could just as well be devoured it would be just fine with me! the symphony of sounds in the forests can be both deafening and romantic ..from a screened in porch of course :)))

Hi E. Thanks for your comments. Frogs are tenacious. They also eat gnats....and that is that...They eat everything..but not screens or porches. We should be thankful for that. Have a great day. Earl

Amphibian uprising poetically described – love the warning in the last stanza! We call katydids 'bush crickets' here in the UK... great write... cool subject matter. :-)
