Dreams of Lewis Carroll

A spore is placed upon my tongue Hallucinagenic seed Images will soon appear As mushroom starts to breed The body starts to tingle As the mind begins to glow Spiders crawl about the wall And carpet starts to grow TV speaks in foreign words And music can be seen Am I just a form of life Or am I human being Chairs begin to talk to me In words of ancient sage I write them with a pen that is Connected to the page I'm mezmorized in disbelief At all the world around I'm seeing every little thing And hearing every sound I look into the mirror And I see me looking back Or could it be that that is me And I am looking back I place my hands upon my face I pull them toward my chin I move them over to my cheeks To form a cheshire grin I can bear to look no more I turn and walk away I seek the solace of my bed And pray for light of day Rockman :-) (For the Go Ask Alice contest by Debbie Guzzie)

I did add some to my dog doppelganger poem. I chose humor.

I think you have captured Lewis Carroll's wildly creative spirit here, Rockman. Undoubtedly he had many dreams such as those you describe or he wouldn't have been able to write Alice in Wonderland. Best wishes in Deb's contest! Carolyn
