Among the lilly pads I sit I am being watched carefully.. So many of us in this pond I stay to myself I do not splash around to much I try not to eat more than my share of flys At least.. not yet I do not over extend my tongue Why is everybody so Green? It must be envy.. Fools! Look at them! Their buldging eyes riveted to my little corner of the pond Hey..This is what I do.. I am a trend setter.. I did not choose myself.. I was brought into this pond to make ripples And ripples my friend..I shall make.. For I..am the Purple Frog~
couldn,t find a purple frog but sure would go with my purple hat. Nice one enjoyed the ripples cafetwo

Ty Christian..The ripple effect comes in all colors. I guess we all just have to recognise our personal gift and go for it..

First I want to acknowledge an appreciation for the recent comments I've been reading from Earlgreytea on the poems I've been reading. At least the last 3 or 4 comments he's made have made me smile, and a smile is a healthy improvement to ANYONE'S face... so thanks to Mr. Earlgreytea, people have been noticing me smile more and now they're all wondering what I'm up to??
Now, as to the Purple Frog... talk about "Thinking Outside The Box!" I LOVED this one cafetwo!!!

I agree with Christian's comment and your reply...
I've often felt out of place at various times in my life.
Great fun as well as wisdom in this poem... kind of like Aesop's fables... but I enjoyed this more!
