Do You Ribbit or Croak?


Time to get silly for my haiku blitz this evening. Did you know that toads are frogs? The dry land variety, but all part of the same classification…amphibia. I for one did not know this. (How ever did I make it this far in life?! It’s a wonder! :D)

Until now. I thought they were totally unique…like dolphins and porpoises. If you don’t know the difference between these two, it’s time to flex your Google fingers and learn something new! Never stop learning my friends!

Whether you ribbit or croak, a frog can be a toad or a frog…it’s all relative 🙂

some frogs are just toads
in need of dermabrasion
and moisturizer!

Love’s Undoing ~ a Haiku

Buds that stay shuttered
will miss the exquisite pain
of love’s undoing…

Crepuscular Ray Delusion ~ A Haiku


Clouds are just vapor
but when the sunlight streams through
they become heaven.

Magnetic Poetry Saturday

a thousand emotions
dance in my soul
fighting for my heart
only I have power over
the one that I can trust.

Raindrop


Raindrop
It started with a single raindrop
Plop, kerplunking, pitter, pat
That pooled in puddles deep and wide
Beside a dark and dewy thicket
Cricket chirping fades to droning
Moaning thunderous storm clouds loom
Soon the tempest bellows in
It started with a single raindrop.
