Picture Poems by Terrell Neuage HOME ~ Next Picture Poem ~ Previous Picture Poem 

Went to a frog
jumping contest
in the country.
Oh they jumped far
they jumped wide
The fastest frog had the farmer's son
and they were both so fast
that no one saw them leave
no one saw them come
I once had me a girl
who shined like the sun
she sparkled like the stars
I saw her come
I saw her leave
the sun in the morning
a star in the evening
both too far to grasp
to high to reach
just like country
and her frogs
and the farmer
and his children.
