Cautious Cubans

Alas, I did not find a photo with four
Cuban tree frogs.
As thunder moves away enough to tell
them that the lightning isn't likely to ignite
them, a barbershop quartet of frogs is
warming up. The thunder claps so close
again, it sends them back into a patient,
cautious silence. Not just yet. But soon
the song will rise from Cuban refugees
who find our land quite to their liking.
