Written for: dVerse Poets Pub: Exploring the Narrative Voice (guest host: Ingrid) "Write a poem in the voice of a fictional character." My wish for adventure turns bizarre for as far as you can see. It is most confounding to me. I seem to be the only child here–unless I'm there. A stately white rabbit checks his pocket watch and frowns. I meet a cat that can vanish at will. Gives me a chill. We have nothing like this at home. I stumble-bumble into an unusual tea party where everyone is mad, except the dormouse who is tipsy. There is a nasty Red Queen, and two oafs known as Tweedle-Dee and Tweedle-Dum. Hard to tell the difference. A cloud-surrounded caterpillar speaks words in blown smoke– no joke. He is arrogant toward me but quickly loses interest. This whole place is becoming all too dreadfully annoying. I am toying with the idea of returning to my mundane existence of learning lessons under a tree. https://dversepoets.com/

This is so much fun! I love how you have given Alice her own voice. I felt like I was down the rabbit hole and through the looking glass with her 🙂
