Going for a morning walk and absolutely love this.

Wonderful!
Brilliant ku Beverly. There is such humour in the observation, but also I sense in the choice of constructing the verse in a single line – the tadpoles are not big enough to "jump" like a Basho frog, onto a second or third line!
Really enjoyable. And congratulations on your first publication in Tinywords. I look forward to reading many more of your poems in the future.
