25 Syllable Poetry Contest writing prompt entry
Artwork by Canrunerbr at FanArtReview.com

You languish in water from the bog
 
declaimed Mosquito to the Frog.
 
My death's divine,
 
I drown in wine.


Writing Prompt
Write a poem. The topic is open. But your poem must have 25 syllables exactly.

Author Notes
My take on an old Spanish proverb:
Dijo el mosquito a la rana: es mejor morir en el vino que vivir en el agua.
