Blending in

After lunch, 

whilst sipping my regular tea,

I flicked through pages of social media

and chanced upon a picture 

of a vietnamese mossy frog

And boy did he look mossy,

gnarly, plush and green

I pondered how efficiently he’d blend

into the woodlands and the trees

How only the black dots of his eyes

may reveal his true location

If closed, he would disappear entirely

A wonderfully useful gift to be blessed with

unless you crave attention, like me

I have been writing mediocre poems since childhood. To me the process of writing is a release and the results, however mundane, give me a sense of pride. I am a busy teacher, mother (hockey mum), wife, pet owner as well as being a reader, sometime raver and a reasonable friend.
