Hi as your note say the frogs are not there any more, but what they left behind ...their calling still remains. They will certainly come back one day. Frogs do.

Yes, Danny Jock, every time I walk over the bridge I do a sound check and listen to hear if the frogs have returned. They will return. Thank you for your review.
Comment from Bill O'Bier
Interesting poem and frog. There is no toad that can't be a princess, no frog that can't become a prince. Thanks for sharing this fine haiku.
Wishing you the best...

Comment from William Ross
very good on the haiku and the muddy lily pads, I live in the country and hear these frogs croaking all night long. Thanks for the share and have a great day

Yes, William, I used to hear frogs croaking along Pinole Creak, but then it flooded to his highest level since 1958 and became a temporary river. I do not hear the frogs anymore, but they will return. Thank you for your review.

I live in Florida and after the rain, they sing loudly. See you are the short poem expert, not me. Bu tit was fun. I see why you enjoy writing Haiku's.

Yes, Heidi, I have a lot of fun writing haiku. I push my creativity to tell a short story. Thank you for your review.
Comment from closetpoetjester
What a vivid poetic picture this painted as the frog calls were swept away on a muddy lily pad.
I'm sure the sound was heartbreaking, but everything comes in cycles so I feel sure they'll return at some point.
Floods, drought, they are all part of nature and the cycles can change or we can encounter freak weather events.
Whatever the case, the frogs will hopefully adapt. If we lose them forever...well, then we humans will REALLY need to worry. Apparently frogs are vital to the ecosystem and a good barometer of how Mother Nature is doing.
Great poem!
Cheers P

Hello, Andre,
Beautiful amphibian haiku for this week's challenge. I don't see a top satori very often and they are not easy to do. Yours is awesome. good job, my friend!

Hi sis cat
I love your haiku, I am learning more about them lately. I was wondering about the first line " Listen - So it is okay not to have five syllables here? Great satori line.
The image is a very good one. Sad about them being wiped out.
Well done
Mary

Yes, Mary, it's okay not to have five syllables in the first line. Haiku is flexible and allows for seventeen or less syllables.I am glad you found my satori line great. Thank you for your review.
Comment from Mark Valentine
Your author's notes could be a poem in themselves - they sound like Sandburg (the poet, not the second baseman). I'm coming to appreciate haikus through this series - the satori for this one is wistful and evocative - the last line of your author's notes ("They'll return eventually") completes the poem for me.

Thank you, Mark, for your review of my haiku and my author's notes. I try to keep them to the point so as not to distract from the poem. I thrill at being compared to Sandburg! Thanks again.
Comment from Moon baby
I love the image of the frog, he is so cute. This is a great Haiku. It's true when the creeks flood and become a river every living this that inhabited it are suddenly washed away. Life then becomes about survival and starting over again. Thank you for sharing this, you did a really nice job on it.
