Rain

March 13, 2023
By Anonymous

oftentimes, rainfrog worried about the apocalypse,

and how much rain was too much rain for a rainfrog.

so he counted the crickets on his lucky jumper, to be sure none had left him.

he counted every rain splosh till he couldnt hear them fall.

and he counted his heartbeat to remember that his heart was strong & brave.
