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

Cona Adams November 6, 2014 at 4:34 PM Nice write, you two. Our little granddaughter told my husband she wanted to be his little princess, but changed her mind when he asked her about frogs. I'll post that poem tomorrow. Gary Bateman November 7, 2014 at 7:02 AM Cona, Thanks so much. You should also check out the Leprechaun fairy tale write called "Always a Dream" that Liam and I posted on 29 October. It is a quite humorous fantasy write too. Just thought of it because you mentioned your little granddaughter. Have a wonderful weekend!! Always, Gary

Danitra David October 23, 2014 at 12:51 PM Just lovely. I enjoyed reading. It made me feel dreamy, as if I were drawn into the fairy tale, wanting to save the prince not the princess. Well done! Gary Bateman October 23, 2014 at 3:31 PM Thanks Danitra!! Liam McDaid and I actually co-wrote this piece together. From your comments look like we were successful in creating the right level of sensitivity for the Frog. I'm very happy that you caught this subtle nuance. I look forward to reading more of your poems too in the future. Best Wishes, Gary
