Frogs Frags & Kisses

Frogs Frags & Kisses

$10.00

Frogs, Frags, and Kisses delights in wordplay and wisdom. Each of its more than two hundred very short poems showcases Müller's wit, depth, and inner struggles. From tanka to limericks, and haiku to little fragments, this author sees the big in the small, the meaning in the prosaic, and the humor in the tragedy. A wonderful compendium of the small, this book will delight with its miniature portraits of a life keenly observed; from sleepless nighttime hours, to pearls of perception, to the naughty thoughts of moguls, artists, scholars or vagabonds. A book to savor and enjoy, in big bites or small.

“frogs, frags, & kisses” is a recipe for fun winter reading: a dash of Edward Lear, sprinkle of Ogden Nash, and some soulful stirring.”

April Zipser, author and editor at Prolific Press

A rich collection of ‘short form poems’: wise, mischievous, and healing. An enticing invitation to enter into play with the small and the big, and at once to ponder well.”

Douglas Sloan, Professor of History and Education Emeritus, Teachers College, Columbia University

Excerpts

moving here and there

uprooted and made homeless

always a stranger

must make every place my own

find home in the world within

* * *

fine dust on fingers

looking through box of photos

so much forgotten

through the layers to his youth

once done he washes his hands

* * *

man with umbrella

sneezes like a tuba burst

rain stops and sun shines

* * *

it’s time to stop the fight

no matter who’s in the right

before too long

we’ll both be wrong

and nothing will make it right
