The Purple Frog

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~

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?? very happy

Now, as to the Purple Frog... talk about "Thinking Outside The Box!" I LOVED this one cafetwo!!! head banger head banger head banger

Hi CafeJim!
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! purple heart purple heart purple heart
