I can relate to this poem. I live in front of a swamp and hear the frogs in the spring time. The evenings they are quite vocal. This goes on all spring and into summer. We call it the Elvis season. I enjoyed your haiku and liked the playfulness of it. Thank you for posting. Gretchen

The contrast between the realistic but yucky brownish reeds and murky pond, with the grand title of herald of springtime, was interesting. I have a poem on FanStory that calls robins the heralds of spring, because when the robins return, we know spring is finally coming. It's always fun to see a different perspective. Your syllable count is correct. Your first two lines flow into each other nicely. The picture you chose was perfect. Your descriptors painted a clear picture.

I love it, Zanya. It's a very good haiku for the contest. It follows the rules to a Tee. But most of all it has great imagery. I wish you luck in the contest. Ulla:)))

Beautiful photo of froggy the going a courting, leaving his murky pond to finch his true maybe yes maybe no. He says he thought to himself if he don't try and then again maybe some one will see he is really a prince if a young girl happens Msybe she believed in the fairy tale?And tries to kiss him.

You express the changing of seasons so fittingly. Carefully chosen words bring depth and descriptive form to your Haiku.

A thoroughly enjoyable read.

Very nice haiku. I guess frogs hibernate and when they start to croke it may be the herald of springtime. I don't have a murky pond nearby so I've not hear one croke, but today the spring trees are bloomed out. It always takes me by surprise because one day the trees are bare and the next there are flowers everywhere. It's too early and I'm afraid they will be more cold days.
