This tree frog isn't green like his amphibian cousins;
No doubt it sees the world differently through glass than through murky waters;
Thank you for sharing your grandson's encounter with this frog in its unusual environment.

A frog should not be in a jar. It should be with the stars, insects, trees and caviar. It will find its freedom too one day and we can throw that blasted jar away. Well done, Tom.

Poor little frog. I hope he was "released to pond and trees." A glassy prison can't be much fun. Cute poem. Is your Grandson exhibiting any talent writing poetry? Nicely done, Tom.

    Thank you, not get, but he likes to read it and surprised me when he knew about alliteration, quatrains, and what a haiku was.

I hope the frog was let out eventually. I like the photo, tone, structure, and message.
A jar is a foreign environment for a frog and his face indicates wonder as to where he is. Great job.

A pleasant mind/thought journey with clear interpretations and some depth to it. The mention of caviar as a frog-food-staple is a great touch.
