Wonder Land

To what end do we wait on?
as the grin gliding through barren trees
guides by blind means
to the lucid destination -
to simply dream?
vividly, yes, as the loveliest red
the queen, she ordered unto every rose
bright as hearts be
paintings in oils -
oils, polished
dreams to whim, bound, leap, reach
this wonder  - bound -
land

This is an interesting style I haven't read yet. I love the references to Alice in Wonderland throughout the poem and how you effortlessly use them to carry on the theme of love (which is very originally done, I might add, something which is HUGE in a world full of wannabe love poets). Love is but a wonderland, isn't it? Full of ups, downs, and hookah smoking caterpillars. Really liked it.

As wondrous as Alice In Wonderland.

Very whimsical in a sense with beautifully laid out
imagery of the inhabitants of Wonderland. It's
refreshing to see you have brought someone into
the world to share in the fantasy with you.

Well done.

Hello Jade,

What a fascinating little write. Suprisingly I understand why it is titled the way it is, and I must agree there is a bit of a love story involved. Lucky him. Very well written, very creative. Great word use, wonderful flow. Very well done.

Always,

Matthew
