The Bullfrog Dreams of Flying

He wants to shake the moss off his
back and leave the tadpoles behind.
They remind him of his misspent youth, and
wasted spring.  The blackbird sings of
blue skies, far off lands,
and the bullfrog dreams of flying.

The bullfrog better be careful of what he wishes for, he may go flying in the blackbird mouth lol

Sometimes we long for something different than what has become routine.
