like a pollywog
but continual
constant metamorphosis
life’s playpen journey
never habitual
every step negates that
sister, wife, mother,
teacher, painter, dancer,
sometime-poet
daughter
daughter is missing
from the list
pollywog always
pollyanna mostly
metamorphopolly
named wrong
should be polly
could be…
because
i am…
we are…
you are…
a becomer

Oh I do like this one! The illustration is excellent too. We are indeed always in the midst of change.
Thank you for sharing this. A perfect Monday morning poem. 🐞

your words create a circle around the cycle of life – may be a frog – pollywog – but these images threaded with other pictures remind us of the circle of life – fleeting, round, going, growing life
lovely
happy Monday

Ah….getting to my reading finally….company all gone. Resting my foot which now includes a broken toe (was dislocated too) and has turned a lovely blueish color. Perhaps your artistic eye would find some beauty in this color??? 😦 Now using my cane again….ready for the saga of the right foot/ankle to be over! Just call me wobble-along! Pollywog….remember the pollywog….this too shall pass 🙂

Oh Lillian,
so very sorry about your foot woes – blue is a good look for sky not skin but yes my friend, whenever I am bruised, I do find the coagulating colors fascinating;)
This too shall most definitely pass.
Here’s to happy healing and a speedy recovery!
am:)

I love using the tadpole as a metaphor for metamorphosis.
