Poison Dart Frog






Nature can be deadly.
Watch out
for the poison dart frog.
Natives catch them
on a palm frond
gently squeeze
and the frog secretes
a deadly liquid
for the tips of poison darts.

  
     This tiny frog looks so cute, but do not touch.  In the dim forest light the yellow stripes glow.
    Can you try writing a poem today about frogs?
