Post 16 - Myths in this weeks Poems

                   The poem "Hazel Tells LaVerne" follows the myth of a frog being a prince and if a woman kisses him he will make her his princess. We get this idea from the line, "But sohelpmegod he [the frog] starts takin/bout a golden ball/an how i can be a princess". This frog pops out of a hotel toilet and wants this cleaning lady to kiss it an he says/kiss me just kiss me/once on the nose. In return, she gets to be a princess with him as the prince. Hazel ends up not following the myth strictly and decides to flush the frog down the toilet.
