A rabbit runs late.
Does he go to Nowhere land?
Teacups dance with no tea,
They are full of riddle.
🐇☕️
The sky turns upside down,
The clock goes tick-tock-tick-tock,
Roses painted in red,
They are all fake, just a lie.
🕰️🌹
She floats,
Not quite falling,
Just drifting between logic,
Nonsense, and wonder.
🙄
In this whimsical land,
Sense makes no sense,
Just like me, you,
And Wonderland.
🐇☕️

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

Another beautiful Wonderland piece, Susan <3 You're getting me in the mood to watch a few of the variations. <3
This was so whimsical and I freaking loved it!
You've been doing a rocking job on these Susan! Excellent work! 🌸
This poem really takes you on a wild ride. The idea of a rabbit running late to Nowhere land is so imaginative. And those dancing teacups with no tea? It makes you picture a really strange scene. The part about the sky turning upside down and the fake red roses adds to the overall whimsy. It makes me wonder what inspired you to write this. Do you have a favorite line or image from it?
I'm going to be sad when this Wonderland Poetry Challenge is over! I'm loving reading your poems!
