A Frog's Kiss [version 3, original artwork]
⚘️🪻🌷🌿🌻🌺🥀🏵🌿🌹💐🪻🌿🌻⚘️The temperate dawn's luminous lights
warmed and aroused Earth's garden delights.
A slumbering morning glory raises her head
as her blue petaled bells stretch and spread.
Violet-blue gentians are folded still,
awaiting relief from the evening's chill.
In radiant warmth their blossoms grew
into perennial bouquets and tonic brew.
They grew with Gray's Lily and Solomen's Seal-
Soothing herbs and sweet flowers that heal.
The fairytale's the foraging of my make-believe
Hidden with yellow wood-sorrels and trefoil leaves.
A magic kiss waits for her chosen green frog,
under the ranunculus, down by the damp bog-
where lavender light fills the fantasy's dusk,
warming the love that lingers in luminous lust.
Warm and aroused in the crust's garden's delights,
Blossoms lay in flower beds the rest of the night.
And the Prince once a frog no longer will grieve
by yellow wood-sorrels with green trefoil leaves.
