Fire the gun into the night air, the breeze is cold, the race has begun. I bring you closer, so you can feel my warmth. I catch a whiff of your hair, as I rub the language of your skin. We are two frogs, in the chaos of existence. Pull me closer, from across the distance. My dreams of reality are nothing but contradictions. I grasp them as I enjoy, and then I wake. For I know my life will be whole, though my heart not so. Rib'it. |

Sorry, Brian, I couldn't change that line. I'm still.... chewing on your suggestion. It may or not not happen. I understand your reasoning, but I also understand mine.  ~Titus Es ist gut, daß das Leben die Toten studieren sollte. |

 (sigh) Oh Daniel, this is very true and heartfelt, sweet friend, reality is not the place you want to place your dreams, though you can embrace reality with the light of them! (big hugggssssss) This is wonderful, sweet friend, generally I do not drop into Teen Poetry, but I want so much to support the Teen Poets in finding places in Reflections as every teen here has a special voice deep inside them, a melody to behold, so you have my vote, yay, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a bautiful heart, sweet Daniel, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Unique but interesting nonetheless. You've done a good job with this, Ti. The frog part threw me off for a moment but incorporated with the rest of the stanzas it makes sense. Bravo. ~AF~ "Write something, even if it's just a suicide note." -- Gore Vidal |

I liked the frogs. And agree with our chinese friend, that it lent an oriental flavor to it. I vote yes, lovie... (and yeah, I know frogs lending an oriental flavor..grin...it's true their legs taste like chicken ) |

I liked this, it was a nice read. " "We are two frogs, in the chaos of existence. Pull me closer, from across the distance" I would have to say that is my favorite stanza, maybe cause..."we are two frogs" totally fresh and intersting.
