#28 – Camouflage
A lone spring peeper
disclosed its location
by chorus too soon
then disappeared —
so I hid behind
my walking stick
hoping to mimic a tree,
share in its secret song
one more time.

Love your line about hiding behind your walking stick hoping to mimic being a tree!😂
I kinda sort of did this for real. LOL!
