The frog was

sitting on the dried

yellow-green grass in

the hot sun.

It was dark light green, like

healthy grass in the shade

on a summer's day.

Excited, the students

swarmed the frog

to

pick it up

The frog hopped away,

the students kept walking.

Some stayed behind to

scare the frog

into safety.

Those few "stragglers"

or "left behinds"

or "weirdos"

were the only ones

who noticed

the other frog.

It, too

is scared away

to safety

(Yeesh sorry for this semi-depressing poem. I was feeling down after my class went on a nature walk and we had to write a "sensory poem"....this is what happened)
