Frog hangs out
on a lily pad,
now and then,
eating flies.
Ahhh …
simple life pleasures.

Author Notes
Jasmine Girl, Lisa, told me the Chinese character on the painting spells 'good luck'.
Free Verse doesn't have rhyme or meter. Japanese poetry is mostly free verse.
It seems that frogs need 3 basic things to be happy: food, shelter, and clean water.
Many frogs are often used for dissection at biology classes labs to demonstrate the organ systems that are similar to the human body. Each year in the U.S., at least 3 million frogs are cruelly killed and thrown into the trash.
Thank you very much for reading and reviewing my poem.
