spring is here! 
wake up, Wood Frog! 
stop being frozen 
under that soggy log 
 
you were a popsicle  
now your heart beats fast 
winter's gone 
it didn't last! 
 
hop, hop, hop!  
stretch your knees! 
croak through puddles  
and smell the breeze 
 
all winter long 
you slept so deep 
wake your body 
from frozen sleep 
 
brown and gold 
yellow belly bright 
monarchs are fluttering 
come into the light!  
 
time to thaw 
and time to play 
ribbit, ribbit, ribbit!  
you have a lot to say 
 
little birds are singing  
young foxes run 
poppies are blooming 
in the warm spring sun 
 
honeybees are buzzing 
the skies are blue 
spring is back 
and so are you!
