How nice to have a response that's longer than my poem.
I realise that there needs to be more biographical background for the frogs since they do jump out of that line.
Since you feel the need to know more about why the cat was there I will endeavour to answer that problem, within metrical restrictions of course.
I'm sorry if you feel that my poem is maudlin. The death of a fish is hard to deal with.
Thank you for quoting your own wonderful poem beneath my own.
I will post a revision once I have absorbed your many helpful comments.
