April Anomalies A-Z: Frogs


Then, in my vision, three unclean spirits appeared in the form of frogs; one from the mouth of the dragon, one from the mouth of the beast, and one from the mouth of his false prophet. Revelation 16:13

The first, dripping from the mouth of the dragon,
was red, bright and sweet, like berries on my tongue
but obnoxious in the light and noxious to the touch.

The second, blue and cold like February rain, like ennui
came falling from the unexpected sky
raining poison skinned spirit frogs.

And when the prophet speaks (lies, all lies)
in golden sonorous tones like morning bells
we hardly notice the amphibian in his mouth.

This is part of April Anomalies A-Z, a creative writing exercise and not intended to be an altogether accurate picture of  neither poison dart frogs nor of spirit frogs...  Brekekekex koax koax
