WOW -- a modern one! What a nice modern form of Haiku! The "aha" is just great and not really expected! Good work! -

Old Basho's frog lives on, with a tasty little morsel for lunch. A delightful haiku, I really liked it!

I don't think I will ever look at frogs the same way again. Definitely different. You did an amazing job caturing the essence of a frog in just tweleve syllables.

Lol. This was good and I liked how well you captured the frog in only 12 syllables. I could tell what it was about before the prompt, so well done!

Interesting
I find it amusing that the guys who write frog haiku focus on the tongue and the meal. What does it signify?
Are the eyes lid less. Hmm, seems I've seen a blink now and then but again I've witnessed the eyeball lick too. Nice going, I enjoyed the captured moment very much. Could use a less repetive title. -

Interesting observation of males of the homo sapiens species through their observations of amphibians!

That describes him to a T and I's dotted.

I think you have a spelling mistake in the title - but other than that this is a wonderful haiku! I really like the ending, and the description is brilliant well done, I wish you the best in the contest!
Keep writing
