PHRASES:

PG 6:

Ø     The deep croaking of the bullfrogs rose and ebbed, like a baby’s quiet sobbing.

Ø     Wet moonlight

Ø     Shimmer of raindrops

Ø     Propping

Ø     The whispery gossip of the leaves

Ø     Snug

Ø     The pulsing croaks of the bullfrogs had died down and given place to the fragile cries of small sparrows.

Ø     When the waves of after-night twined so gently around the slow swirls of before-dawn

Ø     Crowing of a rooster drilled through the fluid stillness

Ø     Reprimand
