Tea Party in Wonderland

Posted in Poems, Rhyme, tagged , , , , , on March 8, 2010| 2 Comments »

Alice! Alice! Where have you been?
The tea party is starting
And Dormouse is asleep again!
The Mad Hatter went missing!
I don’t know what to do.
He went to collect a tea-pot,
But it’s been an hour or two.

Alice! Alice! Help if you can!
The table still needs setting!
I want everything spick and span!
The tea cakes are still baking!
Oh! How it went all wrong!
Today’s been such a disaster.
I must face this all night long!

Alice! Alice! Stay if you will.
This party is ruined
And everything has gone downhill.
The forest has now darkened.
The guests are awfully late.
The Mad Hatter is still missing.
We should plan another date.

Alice! Alice! Thank you again.
Now the tea has gotten cold,
I think it’s time to end this then.
Forgive me if I’m being bold.
Now it’s time we all go home.
Leave this all here.  It won’t run away.
Tomorrow is but another day.

A Single Tear

Posted in Poems, Verse, tagged , , , , , , , , on February 16, 2010| Leave a Comment »

A single tear falls,
Then two…then three,
Until a river forms
Down the contours of her face.
Overwhelming sadness
Overtakes her,
Physically and mentally,
Wishes the hurt will stop.
She is lost…
Unsure of where to turn
For help…for guidance,
For some understanding.
She feels so alone;
Isolated even when others are near.
Does anyone bear witness
To her pain…her sorrow,
She prays they don’t see
Yet secretly wishes
Someone will notice
And provide comfort,
Provide succour…
Provide kindness.
Until then,
She puts on a brave face
And carries on.

Battle in the Sky

Posted in Poems, Verse, tagged , , , , , , , , , on February 11, 2010| 14 Comments »

Clouds,
Ominous and grey
versus
Majestic and white
Engaged in a primal war dance.
Which one shall prove victorious?
Remnants of their fight
Rain down upon humankind
As snow and hail:
Cold and wet,
A trail of destruction in their wake.
Their onslaught continues across the sky
Playfully circling around the other
Each attempting to emerge supreme.

Under a Cherry Tree

Posted in Poems, Verse, tagged , , , on January 29, 2010| Leave a Comment »

Under a cherry tree,
A gentle breeze blows.
Two lovers embrace
Among delicate blossoms,
Inhaling their sweet scent.

Soft caresses linger,
Pulsating on the air.
Two lovers kiss
Secluded in shadow,
Alluding to something more.

Promises whispered
In the still of the night
Two lovers recline
Against the trunk,
Hidden from watchful eyes.

Illusions shattered.
Reality takes hold.
Two lovers depart
From their “protected” shelter,
Longing to meet again.

A Cheshire Cat

Posted in Poems, Rhyme, tagged , , , , , on January 21, 2010| 4 Comments »

I lay on the bed and what do I see,
A Cheshire cat smiling down at me.
A grin full of mischief,
An eye full of cunning.
Does he really think I find him stunning?
A blink of my eye, a shake of the head
I turn myself over, feeling nothing but dread.
I pray and I hope, for I’ve been here before.
I wish he was gone since he makes my eyes sore.
Yet, there he sits, perched high on the shelf,
Appearing to be extremely fond of himself.
“What do you want now?” I plead as I cry.
“Why nothing my dear.” Is all he replies.
“I’m not in the mood.  I don’t wish to play.”
“Just leave me alone.  I’m having a bad day.”
“That’s really too bad, I mean you no harm.”
“You’re such a lovely girl; so full of charm.”
I turn my back and begin to pray
That he just disappears or fades away.
How long he remained, I do not know
For when I awoke, there was nothing but shadow.
I glanced at the perch and all that remained
Was the swish of a tail and a grin that waned.

Down the Lonely Path

Posted in Poems, Verse, tagged , , , , , on January 18, 2010| 3 Comments »

Down the lonely path I roam,
To what place, I do not know.
Thick with tree,
So lush and green
To where it leads are sights unseen.

I follow this path
Which twists and turns
Through gorse and heather,
Over creeks and burns,
Continuing on, not minding the weather.

Meandering on along the trail
Past a waterfall and around the bend,
I find myself nearing the end.
Moving on, the track descends
Emerging at a loch’s edge.

Water laps gently onto the shore;
A beautiful day to be out-of-doors.
Abandoned boats rest nearby.
Tranquil and still, the loch there lies
Reflecting  images of the sky.

How glad I am I chose to roam
In a place I did not know.
What a sight that I have seen,
A loch so lovely and pristine
Here among a land so green.
