It began really well
- but then lost it's way
- firstly with that horribly clumsy line
a small gray treefrog did hold sway. as if you suddenly realised you were writing poetry... and there was no safety net under the tightrope... so you had to come up with some way of maintaining the syllable count and rhyme to avoid falling to your death,

and then the second stanza is just banal prose broken up into the shape of a poem, followed by a third stanza that is a messy attempt at reclaiming some poetic merit.

I'm always sorry to see a poem removed.
