The long sigh of the Frog

Frog Hopper, Children's ride at Hershey Park, September 4, 2004. This is a favorite ride of my nieces and nephews. Nikon D70.

The long sigh of the Frog
Upon a Summer's Day
Enacts intoxication
Upon the Revery—
But his receding Swell
Substantiates a Peace
That makes the Ear inordinate
For corporal release—

The long sigh of the Frog
Emily Dickinson, 1359

maybe 1859...if that's the year it was written...though I know not all of her poems had titles. Heck, she kept them in her shorts, the poor woman. It's hell being an introvert.

...I was just thinking how time flies when you're reading poetry...

What did one frog say to the other? Fun time while you're having flies! Ribbit!
