My Day in Wonder

This was written up as a June challenge within the group "Poetry,Stories, and Any Other Scribbles"

Red Queen, Red Queen

why are you after me?

how much of the truth do you gleam?

Tweedle Dee, Tweedle Dee

stop trying to arrest me

for in your arrogance, you set me free

Alice, Alice

Please empty your chalice,

so I can show you a world with no malice.

Caterpillar, Caterpillar

do you have something to smoke?

for I have many a dream to unfold.

Mad Hatter, Mad Hatter

could you share some tea,

and teach me to embrace insanity?

Cheshire, Cheshire

oh won't you smile for me?

take me to the places I cannot see

White Rabbit, White Rabbit

have you the time to frolic with me?

for I fear I haven't a single place to be.

Nice and lyrical, you could keep going with this one. My fave bit was the white rabbits

[Bryan_Himmel]

Thank you, I may have to take the time one day and re-visit this one to add more.

[Jessica Elaine Stevens ..]

Delightfully whimsical and melancholy! I like the theme, my favorite stanza being the mad hatter :)

[Bryan_Himmel]

Thank you very much, I dare say the Hatter line is my favorite as well. I wanted to stretch my boundaries and show I could write with the other sides of me.
