I'm awake again.
Now you have company.


He is awake again,
and painting
after years
of dormancy.


she startles awake
eyes wide, state of confusion 
after kiss by frog


          A fellow from town of of Fish Lake
            had a tough time staying awake
                Fell asleep during film,
                on machines in the gym
           New prescription was a mistake.

    A nice twist on the frog kiss. Did she turn into a frog princess?

    I too like the froggy verse. I resently read an alternative fariy tail book that mashed several stories;
    ‘The Land of Stories; Worlds Collide’ by Chris Colfer – The Frog Prince was there too!
