The Misadventures of the Mad Hatter

Tea parties are fun

until nobody shows -

just a bunny.

That grip

on the porcelain 

cup slipping,

the kettle

croaking - 

Wonderland, 

but a cold

and distant trip

Yes I hope the parties stop entirely and people start remembering all the affairs. Maybe they'll ask why the rabbit is still showing up.

Sometimes more in effort to cause mayhem. Nothing less. Nothing more

Tea parties aren't quite the same when there is no company to enjoy them. Such a lonely poem and took me back to Alice who I loved as a child.

So much to explore in it. Wondered who was the Hatter before/after and without Alice? Good morning and thank you, Chris

And a good afternoon from me. Long time since I read that book. I have a hard back copy with my name on the inside cover, age nine :)

Priceless gift. Hoping you enjoy your weekend - morning, noon, and night :)

[Chris Shaw]

And you too :)

Alice dies in Wonderland...
lonliness...because nobody shows...and the poreclain cups sit idle and empty.

interesting piece...I like the short lines, the brevity here that allows for more insight from the reader.

Thank you, Jacob. Perhaps it could be Alice. Maybe aging. Tea party had always been with imaginary friends

I'll take ginger and herb tea please. I feel tea parties need preparations and people to share and fulfill. Even in a wonderland, wonderful things can be taken away.
I love MD ..
