Corroboree Frog Croaks

A pied of symphony yellow

Dappled in soft pale peach light 

My croak rumbled over the landscape 

A glimmer, a glisten in the night

Doused in a Tuscany tinge,

Confined to the shallows,

Suffocation begins.    

A whirlwind of sorrow laced with deepest regret

Sweet symphonies silenced. I just can't forget.

Soft scents engulfed, like my confined croak

The creep of consumption, my withering hope.

Rages of crimson, a blaze like a light in the dark

Parched to the bone, ebony black, a shallow heart.

The water my sanctuary,

As my hope blossoms out

A  pied of symphony yellow dappled in soft pale peach light 

l spring through the land, light streams through the trees

     As soft as the sky

A tangerine glow, a little flame grows

           This flame will not hurt, only help to revive.
