frogs in the reeds








the water is high
on the saint croix river --
Ducks beneath the bridge




how placid their preening --
Pelicans ply the barges 
up the mighty mississip'




pretending to be Swans
might fool someone, some where --
the last port north



 

a chorus rises 
above the lake called malalieu --
Frogs in the reeds






the print is by Takeshi Ishikawa
