! The Frog Prince Comments

Lovely recounting of an old tale Linda but I believe you must kiss a lot of frogs before you find yoor prince ivorakapoeticpiers

I perchanced by hopping around on no special occasion and leapt backwards to here.. you and HN create amphibian magic complete with tails .. One Peace at a Time - Deana

One of my favourite fairy tales delightfully retold. How I wish I could meet your mentoring frog. Warm regards, Margery R.

Linda this is masterful. Magnificent. Engaging. Enthralling. Wonderful story. Brilliant composition. Impeccable scansion. Effortless rhyming. A quality poem with a magical story. Almost, but not quite, perfect for children. Thanks. love, Allie xxxx

Ah Linda Ori. Doing just what you do best; rhythmically rhyming storytelling poetry of quality. Like Danny I'm smiling with admiration here! ! Loved this. Another fan. xxx

Read it. Read it, and readit again, till I was Kneedeep in admiration. Danny

Midnight, yes, you do delight Rhyme and rhythm in th nite Indeed you are... poetic light Pen in hand, an image bright Linda>>>One of Poe's most popular short-stories was titled 'THE TELL TALE HEART.......The Title(not the storyline) reminds me of your story-telling style....Every verse, every story coming right from your Heart! Splendid work, Midnight...Rock-On, lass! FRANK/FjR

Linda when I saw the title the other day it reminded me a Fun Poem I had written not long ago called Frog Or Is It A Toad. We must have been reading similar fairy stories. Great write as always. Top marks and thanks for sharing it. David

Now that's what I call telling it all! Living in a log has its advantages as you can see. The lighting wasn't great but a frog's bulging eyes are very good. I knew, of course, just from reading the book, that there would eventually be that time when a moderate measure of human saliva (it's the ptyalin in it) would free me from the bonds and all earthly responsibilities that any frog worth its Loden colour takes seriously. Well done, in fact the lack of forced rhyming (by not bothering) gives it an interesting musical quality. Best (and thanks) , Herbert (You must, in order not to break the spell, use the second part of the name as well, so it needs to be HERBERT.

As nicely written as a beautiful fairy tale.

A beautiful musical lilt with and 'Alice in Wonderland' like feel.
