Lost dreamer exploring corridors of
her mind
falling head first portal of madness , unconfined
White rabbit caught, rotating
hands of time
no hello's, no goodbyes, late absurd crime
Mad Hatter invitation for tea,
mayhem at six
quick with a quip, magical hat bizarre
tricks
Mysterious Cheshire Cat, disappearing
with a grin
cryptic tongue, prophecy, crazy world mortal sin
Garden of white roses, painfully
painted red
covering innocent mistakes, sense of dread
Queen of hearts, tainted, void of compassion
ordering off with their heads, decapitation
Wonderland , chaos threatening survival
declaring harsh verdicts , before a
fair trial
Seeking justice, growing world
of insanity
stumbling upon freedom, laws of humanity
world of imagination, land of hidden
dreams
subliminal messages, all is not what
it seems

I enjoyed what you did with the Alice in Wonderland theme. I can picture the characters so well from your poem. Indeed 'all is not what it seems.'
ReplyDeleteMary,
DeleteWonderland is never as it seems but, always fun to explore..
Appropriately the message had been extended. It appears to be big on a survival theme. To think one can learn a thing or two from antics within the animal kingdom! Nicely Truedessa!

Hi Hank,
DeleteThanks for visiting and I do agree we can learn much from the animal kingdom.
ah yes...sometimes it's not what it seems but def. the worlds touch closely at some points and we can take what we learned in one to the other as well...
ReplyDeleteClaudia,
