Jabberwocky
For Ellie Hoovs' Wonderland Challenge - Day 24
Jibberish and jabberous
Always with a feverish fuss
Blabbering and
Blubbering
Everything
Rife and ravenous
Why are we so quick to play
Our foolish lives this way
Childish hearts must
Keep their trust
Yonder from astray

A nonsense acrostic poem for Ellie's Wonderland Challenge Prompt - Day 24

Alyssa Musso
A scientist by trade, but a creative at heart. One novel in progress with too many other ideas taking up space in my head. Some of those ideas end up here.

*** I'm keen to republish the interviews I did for my series with Vocal creators. It's been a few years and I thought it might be nice to revisit these wonderful conversations. I'll be releasing them one at a time for a few weeks/months.

A playful poem about the chaos of childish chatter and the need to protect innocent hearts
Oh I like this! We must keep our childish hearts but not let them lead us into folly and nonsense.
It might have been nonsense but I love the whimsy in it!! Great work, Alyssa!!
Was looking forward to seeing what you'd do with this one!! wonderful alliteration and cleverly woven acrostic!!
Great acrostic play .. it’s sweet 🥰
