Acid Trip

Reaching into the rabbit hole,
Grasping something that isn't whole
Bringing it to the surface's dirt,
Staring at it as it's hurt
Patching the wounds with tender care,
Knowing that I did not hurt this hare
Bandaged and nursed back to health,
I now watch it hop away with stealth
Back down the rabbit hole it goes,
Then I see something else arose
It was my new furry friend,
A rose within it's furry hand
A bow it gave to me that day,
A rose I took and it ran away
As I sat and held my American Beauty,
I awoke to the sounds of music coming from me
A song had been stuck in my brain,
Don't go through the looking glass Alice it would explain
My name was not Alice and there was no glass to look,
Yet I was completely conscious with a rose in hand that a rabbit handed to me & I took
I gather the moral of the story within this tale,
Too much acid might just bring things to life or make an old story into a true tale.

Never drink tea with a mad hatter...this is what happens. lol Nice write.

[RDOriginal]

This poem does a good job of mixing the surreal with an Alice in Wonderland homage. The overall effect is very trippy and confusing which is what I'd expect for a poem called 'Acid Trip'. Nice writing.

Interesting tale you've weaved here.
never been trippin' but i've heard wild stories!

[Awdures]

I've never dabbled in drugs so when Alice took the wrong pill to me she means co codamol!! Interesting story you tell here Stacy.

Thanks for sharing

As surreal as a forceps and a broom being dissected on a washing board by a screwdriver; very well done, I love this poem, going straight to my favourites...
