Frogs and Poems

I missed my poem yesterday
I remembered at 12:01 a.m.
I was busy meeting another deadline
For an art show
Painting a giant frog holding a fish
Maybe I’ll try to post two
I don’t know if it will let me
I’ll try
Awwwww heck!
I’ve had a headache the size of Jupiter all day and have scurried this night away
Now it’s my favorite day of the entire year
My wedding anniversary
And I’m worried abouts frogs and poems
I did set aside some time for a sandwich and a pickle, though

i’m into this!

love to ponder that space/conversation between poetry and painting.. how they sometimes nourish each other/push each other apart…

nice twist/wink too for the end of this sonnet.:)

Thanks for all your great poems this year.
Your artistic talents are multi- dimensional.
This conversational sonnet
is, like all your art,
full of hidden treasure.
