A Talking Frog ~ Comments

Enjoyed this poem very much Asim

Lovely piece..... enjoyed very much.....thank u, my friend.....

A talking friend is better than a nagging by far' great experience of the old man.Nice song, enjoyed it. My question is what would u do if get such a frog?

Hilarious poem. Of late you have chosen some different topics to write, I m enjoying.

My ghost will not keep that FROG forever. Brilliant poem.5 Stars

I suggest you to kiss the frog and see the magic, why should you be afraid of......

I, Bri, also have (at least) one froggy poem on PH. It's in a 'bog', I believe. ;)

Five stars For Fisherman and Frog story. But this story sounds familiar, as if I'd heard it years ago. Maybe the poet also wrote it during a prevous life? ? ? Hmm? bri : )

It was a LITTLE disappointing to not find a rhyme at the last two lines. I DO like good rhyming and this poem's rhymes made the poem more enjoyable for me. BUT I don't say a poet should RHYME all the TIME, oh NO! !

I esp. like stanza 4, ...BUT its wording seems to imply that the fisherman already knew the frog before setting down his case, and that the frog had been in the pocket once already., two things unmentioned earlier in the poem.

line 10: I'd end the line with a period or semi-colon, not a comma. ...line 12: 'that's plenty': I think the man is meaning to say: 'Frog, that's plenty of talking. Shut up. I'm trying to fish here.' I like 'that's plenty'.

stanza 2: I don't find 'discreet' as a noun, only an adjective. Did you leave out a word meant to be described as 'discreet', such as 'look' or 'glance'? e.g. 'cast a glance, discreet'?

stanza! : 'case' means what here? maybe 'tackle case/box'? ? Yes, my online search seems to agree with my guess. : )

The punch line of your poem is 'a talking frog is better than a nagging wife by far'
