Peepers
The peepers are peeping!
That means spring is coming;
soon bees will be humming -
it’s time to stop weeping.
The peepers are peeping!
From cold muddy ditches
sharing musical riches:
They’ve finished their sleeping.
The peepers are peeping!
Summer’s just ‘round the bend!
This dark mood I’ll transcend
as my hope it comes creeping.
The peepers are peeping!
Blessed loud wee froggies!
Peep away all my smoggies -
set my joyful heart leaping!

Author's Note
I was having a stressful day until I heard the spring peepers starting up their chorus from the ditch in front of my house. Bless those little wee frogs!

If you've never heard the sound of spring peepers, maybe I should add a link so you can hear them. So loud for such tiny critters!
Thanks for stopping by. :)

I can hear this as an Irish song
☘🐸☘ This instills in me hope,
"This dark mood I’ll transcend
as my hope it comes creeping"
Loving that word "smoggies." A truly fun romp in the ditch😄 Brava Goddess K❣🙏

Had to pull a Dr Seuss to make it work.... is that cheating?
Oh, I heard the most delightful Irish accent the other day... wouldn't it be lovely if I could track the woman down and get her to read it!! 😂
Glad you enjoyed this. Thanks for playing in the ditch with me! 😉

Dear K,
Love it!! Joyful to read and so up lifting. I love rhyme. It’s fun and the flow- you could read forever. Peepers are amazingly loud considering their size. Thoroughly enjoyable poem. Great write write. H🌷
PS It would be totally awesome if you had that Irish lady read this!
