Daniel Klawitter- A Poem



Frogs in Texas
 
After the rainstorm—
a symphony of frogs!
A reptilian multitude;
a croaking catalog 
of amorous amphibians,
hop-plopping in the grass
after a good soaking.
So glossy wet with gratitude
they are green and obscene
and glamorous.
Somewhere, there is a
great god of frogs
who conducts this cacophony
of guttural, semi-permeable
pornography.
