Polliwogs by Kristine O’Connell George

Come see
What I found!
Chubby commas,
Mouths round,
Plump babies,
Stubby as toes.
Polliwogs!
Tadpoles!

Come see
What I found!
Frogs-in-waiting—
Huddled in puddles,
Snuggled in mud.

From: George, Kristine O’Connell and Kiesler, Kate, The Great Frog Race and Other Poems, 2005, Clarion Books: New York, p. 1.
