To Wonder Upon The Lily Pads

Benny McCluskey

Free verse
I wonder upon the lily pads.
Am I a frog?
Or am I simply me?
People say I am a frog.
Everyone asks me about frog things.
Clearly, I must be a frog.
I don’t feel like a frog.
I feel like me.
Do people see me?
Or just a frog?
The lilies are quiet and calm

About this poem

Frog is being introspective about their identity.
