Notes About The Poem

Alice In My Wonderland

Oh dearest Alice you’ve fallen through my looking glass of reality,
Where rabbits forgo pocket watches, and vestment coats, hopping
Instead wild, free amongst clover evergreen valley’s lust!
Here dreaming child of enchantment’s lore, storybook charm exists
Within the natural revelry of the wild woods, at the chattering squirrels
Chasing after their own tails, or at the newly born fawn taking its first
Steps into the wide open meadow suddenly realizing how vast the
World beyond can be!
Golden locks of fairy tales epic fame, no mad hatter’s tea party,
Could equal the raw beauty of nature’s perfection in clarity’s
Rippling pond, as Autumn leaves float freely in the breeze
Of this timeless seasonal change!
Mystic to the magic, listen unto the rhythms of this glorious
Heartbeat thumping under this global universe, beneath thy feet,
Let down your golden tresses, run barefoot amongst the wild
Flowers clinging onto the alpine mountain sides, still left untouched
By civilization!
Shuffled within a land of illusions is the red queen of hearts, 
Bequeathed, and dethroned by delusions of fears nightmare
Realm, awaken fare maiden to the sunshine world of freedoms
Abandonments called childhood, be so kissed by a mornings glory
Horizon blessed with a rainbows palette of colors array!
Cast aside fantasy’s misconceptions, pull back the staged 
Curtains to reveal inspirations muse untamed, here drink deeply
From the vial of clarity, in this transparent mirror, behold the true
Allice in my wonderland of the wilderness!
Walk amongst the wolves of the timbers, stalk the ageless path
Of the mountain lion, whom hides in the shadows of the ancient
Tribes, and ride the unbridled horse beside the warriors of old!
Twinkle-twinkle glistening stars of heaven above, let fall the
Stardust of imaginations beloved child, cascading downwards,
To tickle at the lightening bugs shimmering wings, to the wonderment
Of tiny pondering minds whom marvel at these magical living nightlights
Swirling about!
Oh dearest Alice welcome to my mystical wonderland of reality,
Join us here in charms diversity of natural beauty, come frolic and
Play in the open fields of this human forest of thy kindred spirits,
And view the opposite side of a reflective mirror, I’ll be waiting there
Golden maiden on clarity’s shiny rippling wave of the moonscape,
Where imagine glows the brightest!

-I am here writing to inform you about one of my favorite poets Cherl Dunn. She's having open Heart Surgery. April 13th :(.. A few nights ago, I found out she had heart surgery and needed more extensive work. I never stay away from her. She's very kind and is loved by many of us. I'm reaching out to all her friends and all who know her poetry wise. Please keep her in your thoughts and PRAY for her. She is not asking for our support, I am... She keeps me in her corner and calls me Kiddo. I'm sad because she's always surprising me with her awesome visits here and on facebook. Cherl has a very good soul, If you know her, please drop by and let her know we are here for her... Prayers Go A Long Way Sincerely, Linda ~Poet Destroyer~

This is really lovely, Cherl! The first line was excellent for starters and you continued all the way through without faltering even once! In my humble opinion this is surely one of your best offerings. I am certain that any reader would enjoy a tour of your mystical wonderland. #7+ Warm regards // paul
