Frogs Quiz

Frogs  by Norman McCaig

 

Frogs sit more solid

than anything sits.

In mid-leap they are parachutists falling

in a free fall. They die on roads

with arms across their chests and heads high.

 

I love frogs that sit

like Buddha, that fall without parachutes, that die

like Italian tenors.

 

Above all, I love them because,

pursued in water, they never

panic so much that they fail to make stylish triangles

with their ballet dancer’s

legs.
