Poetic Musings: frograffiti Haiku by LeRoy Gorman

frograffitinsidecemberain

Modern Haiku, 46:2, Summer 2015

LeRoy Gorman

Commentary: The layout, one-line and compressed format, of this concrete haiku, "frograffitinsidecemberain (frog graffiti inside december rain)," works well with its theme and visual effects. And thematically and emotionally speaking, in contrast with real-life frogs in the winter that hibernate underwater, hide somewhere underground, or are tucked inside a structure that sits on the ground surface, this army of graffiti frogs in December rain create an orchestra of croaks and chirps, enlivening the gloomy winter streets.
