12 Frog Prison Slammed Shut

The other night as every
night since and before

My weary eye's drifted into 
wonder sleep and i began
to snore 

And then of 12 frog's i eventually dreamt

Belly down crawling stuck
on a concourse prison floor

And once awake i took the 
time to look it's meaning
and definition up

And this is what i read
This it what it said

Rebirth
Transformation
Hope
Evolution
Positivity
Good luck

Yet somehow all i see is 
prison bar's and the inside
of 4 wall's

On Cell Door Number 12

For i fear in reality i am a 
lonesome tadpole trying
ever far to hard

To find a frog princess willing
enough to let me even near
let alone kiss them

As clearly somehow something
must obviously be amis way down
deep inside me

Very very deep Christopher, bordering on the surreal, great rhyming early on then after you read the interpretation despair descends at its irony, this is really fantastic poetry, the reader can sense your soul in this one, cheers David
