“Bubbles gargled delicately, bluebottles wove a strong gauze of sound around the smell” - synesthesia
“Dragonflies, spotted-butterflies but best of all the thick warm slobber of frogspawn”
“Mammy frog“
”daddy frog”
”croaked”
“angry frogs invaded the flax-dam”
“Some sat poised like mud grenades”
The poem Death Of A Naturalist, written by Seamus Heaney, is about Heaney’s view of Nature and how it changes as he grows and becomes more knowledgable of his surroundings
