Tonight's Poet Corner: Sonnet Solstice #90
If You Seek Foghorn Swamp
by Belinda Roddie
If you seek Foghorn Swamp, then find a frog
with golden scales; she'll lead you through the mire
and help you dodge the deepest of the bog
with croaks, should the situation grow dire.
Then the amphibian will show you slime
trailing in ribbons from her friend, the slug,
whose florescent purple color sublime
will shine upon the elusive Mad Bug.
The Mad Bug, with bio-luminescent
eyes, rules over Foghorn Swamp, the muck warmed
beneath your boots, the odor putrescent
in your nostrils as you view this deformed
self-proclaimed monarch. He's quite odious,
but he'll sing secrets so melodious.
