Wonderland

(Dedication: For Nette Onclaud
Note: A verse collage of some of your poem titles. Enjoy!)



Forgive my wild curiosity,
A stroll I take through wonderland
A tryst with inner fantasy,
Courtesy of a wordsmith friend:

Decipher a motif Puzzle,
Wayfarer breezing My Rice Field;
In sun and rainbow that drizzles,
Where gossamer veils now reveal.

Delight The Arms In Rhapsody,
Nourish The Heart's Pleasure with ease;
Seeking the distant melody,
In-sync with kind flamboyant peace.

Hear Whispers Of Light in Seven Days,
Meet Emma, float in Amber Shade,
Embrace PoetrySoup in verse play,
Align my sojourn ere time fades.

Enlightenment springs Sweet Release,
As the Essence Of Your Love tints;
Alas! My weary soul seeks peace
In hymn, in dance, in zest, in hints:

Visions In Fatima pray tell,
This Naive Gentleman wayfarer:
How to utter choice that stays well
Sure Enchantment Of A Tower!

There's Floral Tapestry right here
Voice In Hiding, and Unbecoming;
Canvas In A Blaze sans new fears
Lovely, spontaneous revealing.

Do I dare say friend Nette my dear:
In My Own Element, words whiz
Quizzical and musical cheer
Sensations -- Swirling With The Breeze!

Sense sparkling Diamonds In Your Eyes,
Sun Dancing -- A Child's Christmas chime;
Is This Mere Fantasy my sighs,
Or even reason beyond rhymes?

Yes I am a fan of poesy
That's fickle as a trickle now;
But still I court sure misery
Just to treasure such quaint endows!

At the edge of strange wonderland,
Perchance I stroll and greet new friends:
Greet a calming community
Where I can be most simply me!
