I’d like to be that
Imaginary garden with
Prince toads and
Princess kisses on
The lily pad at dusk
Before the curse is
Permanent -
Leaving battle scars
Of mysticism.
I linked this poem to Real Toad's Open Link Monday.
Please, go and check out the other great posts!
That's beautifully said !!!
ReplyDeleteThank you, GS. It's always nice to be beautiful :-)
DeleteBeautiful Ben....I would like to be that imaginary garden also. :) Thanks for sharing with Real Toads!
ReplyDeleteIt was a pleasure being a real toad!
DeleteN listening to the frogs croak... enjoyed :)
ReplyDeleteMe too ;-)
DeleteI really enjoyed the "s" sounds..."prince" through "mysticism". Last two lines were such a strong closer, too.
ReplyDeleteIt's funny how I do that sometimes without even noticing.
DeleteA Frog Prince fantasy, no less...:)
ReplyDeleteOh, yes, the best kind!

ReplyDeleteThanks, Optimist!

ReplyDeleteI wasn't sure about ending it that way but glad I did :-)
Deletewonderful closing line!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Laura!
DeleteHow perfectly your verse addresses the image; and yet, the poem could stand alone as a creative and fantastical work.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kim. It's very touching to hear that.
DeleteI can't think of a better person to be such a garden Ben! I would certainly wander in....
ReplyDeleteIt's a jaunty stroll!
DeleteI love the reflective view of your garden ;D
ReplyDeleteYes, it is quite a curse...
I can always go for a reflective garden ;-)
