Journeynotes

I thank my professor (who is a published poet) for the editing and title.

Journeynotes

Slowly vanishing paws
Gentle, smiling jaws
The day feels good
Perhaps I should bark.
I'll offer to take tea with the mad
Surely when she has crossed
The Eighth Square
She's been had

Put me in a little deal-box
But my grin will never fade
I hope you've sampled the sandwiches
Blotting-paper pudding piping-hot

Introduce yourself to the mutton
Then dream a dream of a thousand pounds
But are we things of the Red King's dream?
Watching you sail away waving scented rushes
Her majesty's flag
Tumbling down from the wall
Look- the prize- a golden crown!
Take good advice: put your lips to mine
Drink Me

Shoes and ships and sealing-wax
Whether pigs could fly
Some plum-cake, sandwiches, and hay,
Did you steal the pepper tarts?

Twinkle, twinkle little bat
Come fly down the brick wall
Oh, Tiger Lily, sing "Golden Afternoon"
Not fun any more, majesty?
Then two-step with the Griffin
Lions and Unicorns, did they fight?
The Queen locked them up
You only dreamed us after all

Powerful. Provocative.

Do you sup with Lewis Carroll ?
