Frogged

I wanted the fairy tale

although I don't pretend to be a princess.

I long ago learned to rescue myself.

I passed over so many amphibious suitors,

looking for the one;

neither prince nor knight,

but someone to relish the sunset,

someone real.

I should have recognized the taste

of flies on your lips,

foul and forked.

I spelled eyes to see what wasn't there.

I forgot my feet as your tongue

oozed its sticky words.

Awakening, at last,

to your tongue thrust,

to your slime oozing off my chin.

There are no happy endings.

War of the Roses - Banksy Digitalmania Challenge

Our challenge this week at Digitalmania was Banksy.

I thought it would be an interesting change to go medieval on this challenge!

Butterflies on my Mind - TAW challenge

She felt a buzzing in her ears.

Her thoughts felt a little fluttery

but she knew she had never looked

so wonderful!

The challenge at Take a Word this week

was Butterfly

so this is what I came up with.

Beautiful, fluttering butterflies!
