Notes About The Poem

Lewis Carroll

Lewis Carroll
wrote of a rabbit in formal apparel.
Charles Dodgson, on the other hand, 
wrote on logic - all so hard to understand.

Ah, I'm not a follower of lethal logic lol, cuz as much miracles make sense, math does not in many cases. Amazing how you've expressed the dual shades here ~ altho imagination is a concoction but can be dangerous if turns to hallucinations, your words made me think Abt so many things dear David, hope you've been well! sending poetic starlight n whimsical warmth 🍁🍂💫

Thanks, Hiya! Logic and Alice in Wonderland are confusing and hallucination inducing, I suppose! I feel like the two alter egos both had an interest in logic and illogic. You can read something funny if you google 3E Lewis Carroll puzzles.

Hi Ink, I do love ginger tea! Did I write a poem about that? Did I talk about it. Hmm, why haven't I had any recently? I don't know - maybe, the heat. It's 98F today. Glad you enjoyed this poem about the two people who inhabited one body! How's the Maldivian weather? I bet it's hot, too!

Hey David, I am having a quiet smile over this delightfully sharp quatrain. In four brief, perfectly turned lines, you’ve captured one of literary history’s most famous intellectual double-lives, and wit. Deft, clever, and endlessly enjoyable work, David. Blessings, Daniel

By the way, I went and listened to Guy Clark's song "The Guitar" for the first time and enjoyed it, and it might inspire me to write something haunting about my guitars for Halloween. Thanks for the suggestions.
