The dance through oxygen
or water need be
I flip my legs forward
and carefree close my eyes
spiral into an ocean, a tree, or a stream
preponderance ingnited
the past hops and soft projection
falling deep into a pond of memories
submersed, weighed intrinsically
but just assuredly as I splash
and sink near the bottom here
my legs carry me forward, to the surface, to the air
I fill my lungs and hop again,
my sigh echoes the night
it pays nothing to dither here
in the memories of past dives
I'll springboard myself further this time
until the stars are my pads to land
and when I jump the comet
riding throughout the galaxy
my bemusing shout will then be heard
as you springboard after me.

Oh I love this poem. It is so peaceful and has more than one meaning at least it does not me. So springboard yourself to the finalist.

I'm pretty sure I can honestly say I've never read a better poem about frogs
It's peaceful
