little frog sits through
long wooden centuries. this
me writes rhyme.

I haven’t written a poem or been out photographing for weeks, so it was a delight to read that the Metropolitan Museum of Art has announced that more than 375,000 images found in the museum’s online records are now available for free and unrestricted use. This beautiful image inspired a tiny poem.
