Free Verse Poetry Contest contest entry

I'VE IMAGINED THAT...

Being a rich handsome self-centered prince,
has left me with a lot of worth while things to desire.

Dad and Mom are the king and Queen
of diamonds...
So we have more bread than Pop Stroehmann.

But money isn't everything.

We live and we learn.
Experience will teach us every time.

I have these two eccentric women
in my life.

One is pretty pretty.
One is pretty ugly.

I'm sort of inclined toward
the pretty pretty one.

Vanity, huh?

Well...to be, "HONEST...YEAH."

So...the pretty ugly one got jealous.
Then she got mad.

That witch cast a spell on me.
And turned me into a frog.

At first...I thought...
PROBLEM? No biggie.

Everybody loves Kermit,
Even Miss Piggy.

NEVERTHELESS...

I still want to be a handsome prince again.
From which my riches and my vanity has changed me.

A man's life consists not in the abundance
of the things which he possesses.

For what shall it profit a man,
if he should gain the whole world...

AND LOSE HIS OWN SOUL?

Being a frog does have at least one advantage.
Even though I've croaked...I am still alive

BECAUSE...

"GOD HAS GIVEN ME ANOTHER CHANCE."

Author Notes
"Happy is the man who finds wisdom, and the man who gains understanding. For her proceeds are better than the profits of silver, and her gain than fine gold. She is more precious than rubies, and all things that you may desire cannot compare with her. Length of days is in her right hand, in her left hand riches and honor. Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace." PROVERBS chapter 3: and at verses 13 through chapter 17. "If I have NOT, LOVE, I have nothing." First CORINTHIANS chapter 13.
