Hazel Tells LaVerne
I liked this poem because of its structure. Although the poem used no punctuation, I felt like it was easy to read because the way it was set up. It is separated into clauses and clearly shows the emphasis on certain phrases by breaking it up this way. Throughout the poem, slang was also used as phrases like "tryin ta," "talkin bout," and "ya" all appear. Also, the idea is introduced that if a princess kisses a frog, it will turn into a prince. I feel like this is used in many storylines that involves princesses. One example off the top of my head is in Shrek as Fiona's father turns into a frog because the spell was reversed or something. An odd thing about this poem is that the princess actually does not allow the spell to come true. She does not kiss the frog and just flushes down the frog without questions.
