Image for the poem Just Alice

Just Alice

the colours swirls in that garden
where Alice so curious wandered
parting flowers that sang and sway
she saw the most curious display
 
a table set with cups teapots that screamed
three creatures in silvery beams
laughed and cackled so loudly
even as Alice approached boldly
 
come join us for tea
the Mad Hatter said with glee
rubbing his hands on a pot
trying to clear a bloody spot
 
Alice stared and gasped with fright
for on the table was the queen's head
with her crown still on it so tight
her eyes filled with rage stared
 
Alice screamed and ran way
bumped into the Cheshire cat
who laughed at her and faded away
Alice fell again and met a rat  
 
then she rode on the fat rat
who sent her home and fled
Alice was tremendously traumatised
and went away for a long holiday
 
now she lives in a big house
with a hundred occupants
she sings lullabies to a mouse
and watch the moon on bright nights
