Moon Shine

Prompt Here at "imaginary garden with real toads"
Out of Standard: Blue Moon Special



Bullfrogs croak a deep bass rum, rum
from the shadows in the tall grass
insects join with tedious hum
a midnight pond choir en masse.

The inky water, deep, serene
mirrors the light elliptically
with imprecisely edged  hazy sheen
that teases the surface whimsically

until a bullfrog leaps with a splash
after a tasty dragonfly
forming waves that ripple and plash
propelling the image awry

into a patchwork of quilted
blocks of shimmery, splintered light
then calms again into tilted
recollections of starry nights.
