I am one happy frog.
I like sitting in my bog,
eating bugs and flies
as I watch the days go by.
However, I confess
my life would be a mess
if I were made to kiss
the lips of a princess.
Do you know the fairy tale about the Princess and the Frog? What would happen if all the frogs were getting kissed by little girls who wanted to find a prince? What is your favorite fairy tale? Can you take a fairy tale, turn it on it's ear and then write a poem about it? Have fun being wild and crazy. Happy writing.
I cannot get out of my head a fairy-tale of olden times.--Heinrich Heine (1797-1856)
