Dreams: The unconcious getaway plan

Dreams: The unconcious getaway plan

A Poem by Niall Madden

See a young girl skipping through a field,

watch her miss a step, her pace upset and tumble to the floor.

Alas do not fear, the cost is not dear she must merely disappear

returning to her psychedelic, subconscious homeland.


She strolls to the door with a ethereal air,

and soon begins to glance when the door, is not quite there.

As it opens to a road with twisty loops and Technicolour tiles.

She notices all around her, inanimate things with peculiar smiles,

"oh what a wondrously odd place this seems to be"

The golden haired girl seems to announce in glee.


"why the cats are all see through!"

"the duchess rather queer!"

"the animals are talking, and some are quite unclear!"

as the girl begins to ponder, at this warped wonderland


An odder man yet leans over,

"we are all mad here" and the bright sensation of light

begins to dissipate and disappear

and the glorious singing flowers

sit in silence for imagined hours.


As the girl is drawn back in,

the creative canvas of pure joy,

seemed to lose its colour

and the hatter with no tea, his watch without butter

as the solid oaken shield, slammed shut on that whimsical  world

The girl then shed a tear, because the loss was quite a hurt.


When the friendly field did return,

it had no appeal left for her.

The sky a dreary grey

left her sigh in pure dismay

but as she flounced into bed

to hope the day would come to an end


What a wondrous occasion

the dream returns, yet again...
