Egotistic Frogs: Poems

In Egotistic Frogs, you’ll find an entertaining and provocative compilation of over eighty short, down-to-earth poems by an award winning, published poet. Predominantly free verse or haiku in style, they cover wide swaths of geography, subjects, and imaginings, often spiced with metaphor. Given the poet’s natural curiosity, quiet contemplation, and openness to experiencing wonder and Aha! moments, her poems are triggered in the most unexpected settings and situations, often in nature. You'll find humor, especially word play and an impish delight with language. Yet they are mixed with others offering more reflective and philosophical ponderings. Watch for the unexpected twist or surprise, or maybe questions raised toward the endings. This title offers all-new poems, following on after those in her previous collection Investigating Indigo.

The title Egotistic Frogs offers the first hint of the unusual. In this slim volume, you might hold in your hands the only book in existence to include, all in one place, references to: - lizard push-ups - dried alphabet soup - flooded waffle streets - a flat-bellied half-moon - dolphins as apostrophes - water molecules running - an AWOL geranium chorus - thunder in the produce aisle - speedy sonatas and preludes & - Morse Code messages from frogs.
