The prompt words this week are: transition & harmony but we have to find synonyms for our poetry. For transition I chose – metamorphosis and for harmony – peaceful.
Recently, I went on a walk with my two daughter to the nearby river. We crossed a bridge over the lock, looking down I noticed a stone frog hidden under the ramparts of the concrete bridge. I’ve walked over that bridge but have never noticed it before. Perhaps, being a writer and a poet has made me more observant than most people – particularly during Lockdown!
I took an ‘instant’ video of the frog. But it was so swift and almost impossible to see.
My daughters walked ahead and didn’t see the frog. Next time, we walk over that bridge I will point it out to them. Unless of course I imagined it!
A metamorphis
Is an extremely long word!
Peaceful writer’s eyes
Observe a hidden surprise.
A walk, a river, a frog!
Hope you enjoyed the poem.

Yes, I am constantly surprised by discovering things that must have been there since the dark ages. I wonder why we suddenly begin to see them?
During this time I suppose we are drawn to the minuscule detail of life. There is less to focus on.
What a lovely surprise to find the frog, Marje. A lovely tanka.
