The Frog Pool

in the spring
The pollywogs swim
Hatched by the millions
From eggs laid bare
Now they join others
In the watery lair.

A fish like creature
With bulging head
A body and a flick of a tail
Growing boldly
As they swim about
Mindless of the future
And the coming rout.

Suddenly tiny legs appear
A pair up front and others a rear
Vestiges of things to come
As they swim freely
No thought of what's to come.

Then one day
As the fat tail shrinks away
They venture forth
Onto terrestrial firma
And are there to stay.

They've metamorphosed
To something new,
A creature know to others
Who come to view.

A frog
