Ralph Sergi Poet Quatern

Diminutive Alice

Diminutive Alice

As Alice in the classic tale
Diminished in a Mason jar
To overlook the natural scene
The middle of a grassy lea

Captured for her sight to see
The butterflies that fly about
Their yellow trails encompass her
Her wonderland she will recall

How do the butterflies react
To see large humans as they set
Upon a leaf to sip and taste
The nectar from a crimson rose

The Alice figure will abide
The time remaining to be seen
The massive Nature in her world
Until the dream has dissappeared
