Sometimes there can be fairytale beginnings

With a smack of tender lips
the sticky-stammering spell
breaks, and,
frog cleared from tricky gullet,
he speaks
the binding incantation

the way you linked the fairytale elements to a state of mind is fabulous!
especially liked it because just a few minutes ago i was writing about how an end is a beginning... trying to get rid of the frog i'd got in my throat!

Francis,
This is fantastic.
Why did we never consider, 'a fairytale beginning', before now.
It is perfectly valid!!
Makes life much more straightforward, for all those Frog-Princes!
Have a good weekend,
Eileen :)

Love the poem but, even more, I LOVE your peace globe. I missed it somehow during the blogblast. I love the statement on it - so true.

@hb Thanks... It's good to be writing on the same wavelength with you :).

@Eileen The frog-princes do need some encouragement time and again ;). My weekend was good. I hope yours was great.

@Sherry I'm glad I could be a part of the blast this year.
