Froggery Too

Oh, tell me you hear
through pale words perceive,
tune your tympanun to the wild timpani.

               For the frogs are spawning in Flooding Creek,
their bok-         -bOK
                    -bok          PoBbLeBoNk*      syn-
cho-
        pates with Camaldulensis* -
sky-whisking baffling for croak-acoustics.

Those sage, river limbs that arthri-rhythmic-  
tic
both conduct, and are conduit to bright frenzy beneath.

As my child-heart swells, grows green with glee,
it oscillates well with blithe froggery.

*Eastern Banjo frog   *Camaldulensis - the river gum.
