A Limerick for an Abdominous Frog

Day 1 of the A to Z blogging challenge.  I am writing poems and doing mini watercolors again this year.  Welcome.  I'm trying to sign up on the page that show the participants...should have checked in earlier.  I'll get registered soon.  Enjoy the new vocabulary and limerick.  And here is the link to other participants in the AtoZ Challenge this month...lots of categories...it isn't just poetry and art!

I'm usually ahead of schedule with posts ready to go up, but I didn't realize how close to April we were!  I'm scrambling to write and paint.  Here's a freshly and one-shot deal frog....for A!  Lol!  My goal is a watercolor, a poem with a fun vocabulary word beginning with the letter of the day.  This one has 3.


 

An Abdominous Frog

There was an abdominous frog
Who sat in an anchoritic bog
Though camouflaged green
He could always be seen
Overlapping his abditive log.

Tomorrow B...I wonder what I am doing.

  2. Hello. I haven't done this challenge since 2019. Life gets in the way.
    Anyway I am new to watercolor. I love your frog and poem.

    1. Hi, Lynda. I've done this most years, missing off and on more recently due to life, taking over, also. We do what we need to do.

  3. Had to look up "abditive" - good call...

    1. Yeah, I guessed at the meaning of abdominous, though I'd never heard it used. But abditive was totally not on my radar. My spell check doesn't like either of them!

    Limericks are fun, but hard to write sometimes. This is a good one.

    1. Sometimes there's a limerick...and sometimes there's no way.

  5. So many cool words to look up - the limerick was completely Phat! (Haven't used that slang word in a long time, but I felt it worked here.)
