"How Did That Song Go", is an extremely well-written and delightfully descriptive piece. This talented poet's work was a pleasure to both read and review. I look forward to seeing your next post.

I could probably write up an infinite list of sad... Is that sad?

Hi Diana -
How clever to have a frog reciting the "wish I may, wish I might" mantra -
I love how you've changed it up and derailed his thought by dinner at the end. Your ABC poem is in perfect form.
Good luck in the contest!

Does he come to serenade you?

YAY!

I like frogs....does that make me strange? Probably..... Better than most "PRINCES" I've met! (Grin)

Yes, but he is personified (odd circumstance) in the shape of my husband (who can't hold a tune in a bucket!) HAH!
Comment from Air Spirit
An excellent poem... very cleverly constructed, and perfect ABC poetry entry. I love the first sentence, "Starlight, star-bright (croak) wish I may wish I might (croak)..." just by you inserting the work "croak" into the poem's verbiage, really takes the poem from a level of being good to great... at least for me.. it was clever, original, humorous, and the personification of the frog added another level or dimension to the poem.. Very original .. it made me feel as if the frog were actually reciting those words on a lilly pad, and that I was right there by the pond, watching... and listening... under the witches'
moon..

Hey Air Spirit... I'm honored by your review. This poem was a bit of a lark but fun to write. Life has so many angles and one is that we are humans and fallible and vulnerable... It would be hard to have an overload of information for another thoughts. good. bad. or indifferent. thanks so much for reading. yours, diana

In this case the picture did... I ran across that face and knew he needed a poet bard. As I was passing his image he croaked out to me, "Star Light...Star Bright... and the rest went on the page. thanks for your wonderful review ameen yours, dian
Comment from Eternal Muse
Oh, I absolutely loved it. The imagery here hits the roof, and your singing croaking frog is adorable! Fantastic picture and what visuals this awakens! (smile). I wish you all the luck in the contest, with a verse like this you won't be needed it.

I really like it - poses many opportunities for interpretation, but stand alone it is just fun. And the world needs more fun. I suspect your art is required to have hidden messages - "go see the movie you dumb %#�£." Most of what I read here is a pain to get through - yours is always a pleasure. When I see some names I think - damn here we go again.

Oh Thank You Frank... BIG Time kiddo.! just a brief but boring catch up... I haven't written here since 2012 until a month ago and the climate and talent were very different. Take that statement for what you will. But, I'm running into a few like you that know there is something askew here. Don't get me wrong I love askew... but, I would like to lead the charge to bringing it back to less structure inside of structure then go crazy on the last line thinking and bring heart and soul and yes dare I say Funny back. yours, diana

writing seems bound by tradition. Follow the rules. Never use an existential quantifier in conjunction with beehives or something like that. It just is not done. Some people just love setting how others must exist. Self appointed or assigned gate keepers to keep the riff raff out. But you are an accomplished artist so you can do as you please. I love rap - not really. But it transcended formal music training to allow baseline expression. Writing will be freed but maybe not anytime soon.

Today has been fun... there are several poets who are fed up with the mess that has been mandated by the who? I'm not sure. Like I said I've been absent 6 years and it has gone to weed????? Those who write by syllable structure are so lost in the count their words yields a soulless read. I'm sure I will be black balled but, I don't care... something needs to be corrected here. yours, dixoxo

Had a similar conversation with my niece who is in an Astrophysics PhD program. Few can operate in the stratosphere but she implies all can. The structure here is fine for most as it sets clear rules they can operate within. Did you read my, Do Elves Ever Grow Up? Attempt to offer order in chaos. On reflection some of it had too much order. The site is pretty good but you need to hover above the crowd.

Okay kiddo... I will work within and without the structure and find a place for a rebel on this site. I will go on your energy. yours, di

See Starfire Arises. You seem to have a high starfire index. True?

This is a very cute entry for the ABC contest. The frog photo is perfect for this and enhances your entry. It rolled along very nicely and was a fun read.

The author followed strictly the rules and requirements of the ABC Poetry Contest. You did well in the description of a frog in its eating habits. The picture complements well the message intended by the author. Very well done.
