Using Them All

ALL THREE SUGGESTED SETS USED HERE Have you ever felt like Alice in the Looking Glass? It may be easily done by a memory you have passed. Instead of a white rabbit down the hole, It was a red balloon I was chasing, like a mole. Someone of Royalty yelling at me "Don't be so pert"! While we are sitting at a table, just eating dessert. Then, with a plane ticket and a favorite flower in hand, Roaring skyward in that balloon so grand. Dancing onward into a pitch black room, With its secret box going "Boom...Boom...Boom". Ever more restless listening to that knell, Flying over the trees of a green, green dell. Was it Winter or Spring...I did not know, Until the flowers came bursting through the snow. Turning to the open window so I could see, It was just my face in the Looking Glass staring back at me. The smell of lilacs wafted up in the smoke, Realizing it was only a dream...as I awoke. written: 1/2/16

WOW - I see this placed - must have been the '3 word contest.' You succeeded in the "Alice" feel and it was a delight to read, the rhyme flowed all with ease, nothing forced - I thoroughly enjoyed it. If I haven't yet, I wish you a year where perfect healthy, joy and prosperity flow and grow through and around you. Come see my writes sometime, I've missed you ... CayCay

Thanks, CayCay. I will try to get to your writes, but I have a lot going on right now. Unfortunately, it has left me little time to read anything, including the stuff I need to read. I do have the feeling that the my next "Musical" number will be coming soon. I hope it will be up to your standards...and thanks again, for your comments.

Thanks, Eve. I seem to have a better handle on the couplet form, so it was not difficult to write. However, my difficulty was in the choice. Since I could not decide which group to choose, I just had to include them all. That made it all the easier to come up with the words. I appreciate your comments, as always.

Thank you, Laura. As I mentioned to Jack below, I couldn't decide which group to use, so I came back to it several times with the only decision I could make...use them all. I appreciate your comments very much. Kudos on the contest for making us think!

Thanks, Jack. I appreciate your comment and only hope that it will be seen in that light. I didn't know which group to choose, so I decided to use them all as my poor talents would allow. Thanks, again.
