Big Bull

~

clear blue summer sky

deep azure crystalline lake

bull frog rises slow

ripples lap the bulbous ryes

crisp scent of water lilies


memories of you

ripples on this mirrored lake

rise and drift gently

into the golden sunlight

big bull croaks softly — dreams rise

    1. How lovely to bump into you at earthweal, Rob! And what a great description of the bullfrog! We used to get lots of little frogs and newts in our utility toom and bathroom (it’s downstairs) until the cats frightened them away, but we never had a bullfrog. I love the sound they make. Strangely, a frog did find its way in last week during the storm.

      1. Hi Kim! The frog is a good-luck symbol for many cultures. A frog can be a sign of prosperous weather to come. Frogs are also considered lucky symbols of transformation and safe travel. Chinese believe frogs attract wealth. Maybe ask your cats to stop chading the frogs… 😉
