the queen of hearts fell for the mad hatter
by Kimberly BarePaint the roses red.
No
yet again i despair
and question my choices.
What i once cherished
is shattering
and suddenly
off-with-their-head
red
is discomforting.
On second thought,
paint the roses
purple.
Flounce the feathers
and return the royalty
along with the silver.
The teapot has gone missing
again and this
damn cake
is choking me up.

| Posted by Max Bouillet on 07/22/10 at 12:31 AM Nice way to twist our little Alice! Your wonderland is filled with mixed emotions and madness. There is a sense of a dream turning nightmarish drenched in uncertainity. Fascinating read. |
