a frog hopscotches through its splashing ether
with royal red cape and a jeweled silver stave
its tongue uncurls and accelerates and spirals
and wraps so snug around a sparkling little fairy
to then pull her into its puffed, swamp cheeks
the bones in the fairy's dainty arms snap like twigs
the crystalline reverberations of her wand dulls
her dead grasp, with flesh turning black, goes limp
spasmodic light, as if to ignite that newly cave
beams frantically through and through that grave
the frog then pounces and jumps on haunches
having caught a magical feast, back to the pond
chomping in slow, sinister intervals, swallowing
the frog then licks its bulging eyeballs and blinks
Wow, that was eerie.
Wow, that was eerie.
Starward
