Premium Member The Grinning Cheshire Cat
What lies behind that grimacing catty coy smile, it’s upside down
Thinking perplexes me mentally, topsy-turvy confusions beastly
Kitty, popping off riddles to confound all humanity’s realistic
Way of thinking!
 Swishing his feline tail with utter cat flatting happiness, a word to the
Wise my dearest sweet Alice beware,...

Cheshire Cat Inc
They call me the Cheshire Cat, that's my name.
A creation straight out of Lewis Carroll's brain.

I live in a in land of wonder you see,
and store plenty of tricks up my sleeve.

I'm a feline that can grin from ear to ear.
I can also make parts...

An arbitrary woman on the street
          Going the opposite way. Her amber eyes

the bottom half of the moon smiled
grinning through the haze of dawn
soft glow casting shifting shadows
across the glistening hoarfrost

Cheshire Cats
I wore black one day,
Into the middle of town,
The folks all saw my dress,
And smiles turned to frowns.

I smile at them all,
I make them shiver in their clothes,
They dare not avert their ears,
As my lips speak sacred prose.

No one understands,
What my lips mean to say,

Cheshire Grin
The climate now is changing. 
Summer seems to turned to fall.
Winds that blew hot with passion
No longer seem to blow at all

There is frost upon the pumkin.
And it's only mid July. 
Think what we thought was love 
Were the wrong words to apply. 

Seems when...

Cheshire Cat Smile
Both black and white
Kittens wearing pink
Mittens, sit playfully,
While facing the
Enchanted mirror
To their great surprise,
Those lovely kitten eyes
Witness a paper tiger
Appearing in the mirror
With a great big 
Cheshire cat smile
Then, asking, who
Are you...

Premium Member Smile of the Cheshire Cat
they called her the crazy cat lady
for so many obvious reasons
calm and poised she hummed and purred
she would sit and pose the whole day long
had nothing better to do with her time
than keep her cats amused and entertained
a herd of cats nudging her climbing her
her...

Premium Member Use the Cheshire Cat As a Nightlight
Is the Mad Hatter the only one who can be mad then?
I glared at Alice; is she so obtuse, she does not recognize her truth?
What is it? She asks me, concerned.
I am the Queen of Hearts and likely to lop her head off if I...

Two feathers
Caught from
The edge of

From north
To south
Indeed, we
Shall witness
The Cheshire cat's
Mischievous grin
Saying once more,
Who are you...

Death In Cheshire
this poem will give you something to do while in lockdown check thier fate 

If I must die, may it be quick 
unlike  Kenneth Pinyan's death.
in my sleep would be fine 
or like George Plantagenet
who drowned in wine.
with my loved one at my side

Cheshire Grins and Spins of Mind
Feelings and emotions are so complex
How can I be so sure of something one day
           And so insecure the next

A missed kiss goodbye in the morning
Surely means nothing 
Yet my mind wonders
