DOWN IN THE BOG

this form was developed by me for a contest

at All Poetry

 

 

Croaking love songs down in the bog
droopy eyed with romantic thought
waiting for her to come along.

Droopy eyed with romantic thought
lit lily pads placed, facing north
fancy candles to mark the spot.

Lit lily pads placed, facing north
bullfrog calls thrown across the night.
Lusty throat sounds to bring her forth.

Bullfrog calls thrown across the night
jumping ladies he hopes to see.
Mud bath for two prepared just right.

Jumping ladies he hopes to see
flocking to his cool bachelor pad
where they shall sing in harmony.

Croaking love songs down in the bog.
waiting for her to come along.
