An interesting short poem that meets the contest rules. The flow is good. The poem stays on point and the rhymes are unforced.

Comment:
I might think of switching the last two words in the poem so it would read: smokey, bog smog.

Thanks for sharing.

This is a good entry into the 1-6-1 poetry contest. The text is a great size. I like that it is written in the color green for the green vegetation and the frog. The message is clearly stated. You even got a rhyme involved. The visual fits perfectly. Good luck in the contest.

The poem creates a sensory experience for the reader in just a few short lines. Swamps, amphibians and such have a mysterious, primordial vibe. That scene in Star Wars with Yoda in the mist of his home world was like that. Best wishes with the contest,
John

Having entered the same contest, I should perhaps disqualify myself from rating this poem. 8 syllables is not a lot to work with, it achieves what it wishes to: the image of a frog in the smog. Well, smog is reality, and better a smoggy frog than no frogs, albeit a foggy frog is a happier encounter than a smoggy one. I was reminded that my poem needed to rhyme; I don't think I can make it work, so my contestant poem is doomed to fail by a failure of conformance, not the worst of the criticisms that can be made. I think that often free verse permits the better poem than the concessions in logic that forced rhyme choices can mandate.
