Poor Old Frog Is Really a Prince

POOR OLD FROG IS REALLY A PRINCE at the minute his eyes are sticking out the poor old frog swollen and burning turning away he is afraid of the sun only when he sees shades in his angel's lips blushing roses he floats up . . . into space into two loving arms he dances having a ball finding his sleeping beauty the poor old frog is really a prince loves his sleeping beauty blushing enchanting so much he finds her waiting and hoping for her kiss and his release from four legs to two so he can hold his heavenly angel sparkling: smiling in his arms one with his heart emotions are one the princes loves his sleeping beauty blushing and radiant forever and forever Liam McDaid and Gary Bateman Free Verse Collaboration, October 11, 2014

You and Gary work often together it seems! A nice rendition of a children's tale - sprinkled with more poetic flair. Well penned!

For some people a frog is just a frog,and a handsome prince always a prince,But when it comes to a fairytale like this ,when there is thst true love ,We realize that there wouldnt be a prince if there wasnt a frog..So the frog is ad important and special as the prince He had become.Beautiful collab friends.

Charmaine, Yup -- The frog-prince theme is a quite wonderful theme to write about. A prince that has been a frog has a very interesting perspective on life!! Best Wishes, Gary

Liam, My hearty compliments here with our collaborative effort on this one. Glad to see you posted it so soon. It's a "7," but, of course, I'm slightly biased. I am quite pleased to see our Poetry Soup colleagues reacting similarly to this write. "Eden Calling" is in your mailbox by the way. I certainly enjoyed the partnered effort on this piece!! Best to Ya' Mate . . . Gary
