Ciao poet, I gave you your 2nd vote.
Since I was a child (and a tomboy) I have always loved frogs.
In my first boarding school, I was age 6 and 1/2 there was a creek passing through the premises and I would go catch tadpoles in the creek in our free time even if it was not allowed.
I'd build a secluded angle and put them in there and watch them grow over the weeks.
I love their bright hues and when the males call for a mate.
The French like to eat frogs' legs I prefer to see and hear them in their habitat.

I only ate frog legs once - once was enough for sure! I am all for hearing rather than tasting.
Thanks for your vote. More is certainly needed to climb on to the awards podium.

I don't really understand how the first poem has actually 10 votes.
It is a pleasant read but in all honesty,
I don't feel it is worthy of the red ribbon.
Go figure.
Have you been for your Summer holidays, yet?

We take the last Sunday in June for a week with my entire family, including grandkids.

Okay, so you have already been ..
That must be quite a big bunch.
Two is already a crowd for me. (sigh)
Keep safe !

You reached the podium !
Congratulations on your yellow ribbon win!

Thank you for defining "nutha" from the Urban dictionary. To me it brought realism to your 2-5-2 poem.
Best of luck in the contest. This poem should do well.
Cheers to the ribbit in us,
John

Thanks John for that reply to my contest post.
I don?t recall that your Stout beer had those old Super Bowl TV ads saying ribbit (-;

People often say I'm a "nutha". Only they pronounce it wrong and leave off those last two letters. Anyhow, this entry should jump out at the judge. It is warts several accolades!

Thank you! the only stash I know of belonged to Huntz Hall in a story I just posted.

I messed up! Sorry. I was going over the story I alluded to and it said "author information not available for this contest. So if you see anything that looks like that tale, please do not vote for it! /
