OH this is great! Congrats! And I picked this to read as we live on a road called Frogg Lane. No kidding. And the peepers back here are so loud! I love it, but it's a sort of bad/rough neighborhood. Sadly. But this little poem is awesome. A wonderful read with the perfect rhymes!! :) Susan

What a clever entry! great originality, Great imagery., Great rhyming. Great presentation. I see why this won. Essence poems look easy but it is quite difficult to pen a good one. Well done! I love the unusual consonance of G plus alliteration of F, giving this a cohesive phonetic resonance.

Kudos!


Warmly, rd

Thanks for the six! Yes, essence poems are harder than they look. But this was a fun contest. I'm so glad you liked my entry.

What an enchanting artwork and clever Essence poem! - No wonder you won the contest--it's not easy to include internal rhyme in a tiny form. Congratulations and keep the posts coming! -Joan

OMGoodness, Cindy, this is charming. Congratulations on winning the contest. It was very foggy here in Wisconsin today and my plan was to write a fog poem. When I saw the title of yours, I HAD to read it. Illustrated beautifully, too. Great job. Marilyn

I can see why this poem won the contest. You did a great job with the essence poem, and your words conjured up memories of hunting frogs in the early morning fog.

Congratulations on your win!

Cindy,

What a fun poem! I like the idea of the hidden frog on the log in the fog in the bog. It's like a tongue-twister! You could save the info for the next contest! hahahaha! The image is a perfect go-with! Thanks and congrats!

There's an idea! We should do a tongue-twister contest. LOL Thanks for the wonderful review.

I loved the ethereal qualities ingrained and intermingled within the message of this simple yet alluring poem.
Congratulations on your well-earned win.

Congratulations! such a simple 2 line poem, wrong, internal and ending rhyme, with only 6 syllables per line and create such great imagery such as you have done, is well, boggling to me. great penning, great choice for subject for rhyming with.
