“Frogs in Texas” by Daniel Klawitter

By Luke Stromberg • October 3, 2018 • E-Verse Universe

After the rainstorm—
a symphony of frogs!
A plague-like 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.
