As you know, 19 random Facebook friends gave me 19 topics with which to write 19 poems and I'm doing it in 19 days. Well, this crazy lady gave me the topic of tadpoles. Not just tadpoles, but tadpoles from the perspective of a 5 yr old in summer. Whew! Good thing Dr. Seuss is one of my favorite writers. Here ya go Miss Rita! #16 of 19.

#16 of 19 - Topic Suggested By Rita Johnson

 

Tadpole Tadpole

Where did you go?

You were just here

Now I don't know

 

Come back come back

Let me see through

The mucky still water

I want to catch you

 

Pollywog Pollywog

Your second name

It's fun to repeat

Cause you all look the same

 

Baby Frog Baby Frog

What did you say?

Nothing yet

But I'll croak one day

 

Ribbit Ribbit

Swimming around

You're too little

To make a sound

 

Catch you Catch you

Then put you down

It's the game that we play

In this town

 

Summertime Summertime

Five years old

Outside catching tadpoles

Until it gets cold

Do you know why kids catch tadpoles but never eat them? Because they have no frog legs…

I really like this one, I think it's the best of the series.

I.ve always enjoyed watching tadpoles turn into frogs.
It's nature at its best.
