Nicely done, Martin!

Many thanks, Susan and Andrew!

I hope those frozen frogs are having pleasant dreams during this cold spell. By the way, there are five known species of freeze-tolerant frogs in North America, including the well-studied wood frog, as well as Cope's gray tree frog, the eastern gray tree frog, spring peepers, and the western chorus frog. They are evolutionary marvels!

Good one, Martin. Congratulations.

Congrats, Martin; thanks, Susan, for the link :)

Martin, this was also a contest winner, yes? Alek thought you might enjoy this video :D

Best wishes,
Fliss

Thanks, Fliss. And please thank Alek for me. It's a fun video (amazing, actually), and I enjoyed.

Nice one, Martin. I enjoyed this despite not knowing Bishop's villanelle. Love "frog-cicle".

Matt

Thanks, Matt. I'm glad "frog-cicle" tickled your fancy. I'm also pleased to hear that you didn't need to know Bishop's poem to enjoy this one.

Aww, this is really fab. I liked 'frog-cicle' too, and 'I'm a pro' and the way it's written from the froggy hero's perspective.
