English: Alice stepping through the looking-glass (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
Alice has fallen
Through the glass again
This life-like absurdity
Raised to literary art
Perversity in poetry
She’s dancing with the mad again
There’s secrets here
Hid deep within
The whirl of disordered thought
Alice isn’t quite a child
Not the girl that she might seem
Peculiar purity abounds
With a sly wink
Of devils passing
It isn’t her fault we see
Her life is handled carefully
For madness is inspiration
Crossed with moments of lucidity
Alice’s reflection
Reminds us all of someone
In the depths of fear
We believe it may be us
But should we ever trust
The evidence of senses
When the message is
Just senselessness
Repeating back to us?

Yes! “Dancing with the mad again” … Love it.
Thanks so much!! 🙂 🙂
Alice in Wonderland is a favorite story of mine xx
Cool, it’s a very clever story! 🙂 🙂
Alice Through the Looking Glass is actually a game of chess being played out in nonsense form. You probably already knew that, but I thought I’d throw it in just in case.
I actually didn’t! That’s really fascinating, Ill have to re-read it with that in mind. 🙂 🙂
brilliant work
Thank you!! 🙂 🙂
I like this…. Reminds me of the caterpillar smoking away…. I always think of the caterpillar rather than the cat!
I tend to think of the Mad Hatter …maybe who/what we think about shows some deep thing about us psychologically??? 🙂
Ha ha maybe…. Lazy and sucking on a hooka? Yup I’ll go with that hahahahaa
And for me..crazy and a bit too obsessed with fashion accessories…yep, could work!! LOL! 😉
Ha ha ha love it! Yes I think we are onto something here!
Just a fantastically written piece! Loved every word of it! So much odd imagery dumping in my head. Wonderful!
Thank you so much, that is very kind! 🙂 🙂
Oh wow Helen I love it!!!
Thank you!! 🙂 🙂
Great write 🙂 I love Alice. You are right, perhaps many of us see ourselves in that curious little girl! Madness is a great topic….remember what the Hatter says…”all the best people are”
Exactly – its a wonderful book to draw inspiration from, very wise! 🙂
