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

Ha, I enjoyed this one of yours. Cherl. Alice and her mystical land. I envy her. Not for the wonderland of reality, but for falling down a fantasy hole. Amazing write fits the story perfectly. I bet you can't guess, who's my favorite Alice In Wonderland Character?
