She kissed her prince and he became a frog.
It amazed her how many princes that happened to.

You're creating a very distinct genre or style or something, Rick.

Naw, Tom, Brautigan and Bill Knott (St. Geraud) did it first.
Thanks, Silent, for the ad.

Rick

what I love is the nonchalantness of her amazement - she continues to kiss them even though it keeps happening....

lol

I need to look those two up and do some reading

Cronk

she may like frogs, or be a frog. there's quite a bit of interspecies kissing in this land.

Cronk,

Desperation?  What's a Princess without a Prince for happy-ever-aftering in the once upon a time?  (Now she'd get a dog and go to yoga classes.)

funny.  but in a twisted way, not so much.  seems like we often [women or men, girls or boys] think we've a prince/princess, but in the morning there're warts we just couldn't see in the heat.

lol @ Tom's last remark--interalienkissing, lol.

Really like this Rick.  I think what I like best is use of the word 'amazement'--she's in realization of something new, but still innocent, not bitter.  Love it.

Thanks, all.  Moving this up to Submit.

I would be interested to see this made longer; it seems a summation rather than a poem, to me. . . but it is intriguing, and I want to know more about her. 

Jonathan, I'm interested in the difference between summation and poem.  Can you elaborate?

To put it another way, in this one it seems to me you encourage the reader to imagine the characters and what happens, more than you show us.  But this may be what you wanted to do. 

It wasn't conscious, Jonathan.  This is what I got and it doesn't seem to want to go any farther.

Rick, I, too, have experienced that feeling...the words come and I feel lucky to get them down...
As you know, question often is "to revise" or "not to revise"...certainly we run a danger in tinkering too much. I guess it takes a long time to learn; I'm still learning it, myself...slowly.
