A Frogs Life Poem by Paula Robinson

A Frogs Life

Rating: 3.9


I stare into the garden pond, wondering
On the theory of evolution
And how it applies to frogs
Why their life changes, so quickly
From little jelly blobs
To tiny fishes
To four legged amphibians

I wonder
Why they feel the need
To leave the safety of their pond
To venture, far away
Into the unknown world
Onto the concrete roads
To meet the death of frogs

Paula, You missed the point - - - It is little boys like me, that grabbed them out of that security!

I love the whimsical, light tone of this poem, which asks one of the most serious of questions.
