hatter mad

Heather T

oh vitreous day

for shattering teeth

you must see my glass eating act

 

the dogs sneer and laugh

from their seats in the trees

so I twinkle them with my bat

 

they saw their reflection

with some introspection

in shards and did not like the sight

 

so hideous pretty

a bit like this ditty

they growled in caviling light

 

no

 

they growled in carnival light

 

*hiccup*

 

they growled in carnivore light

 


fleas rage their sermons

the bandersnatch claws

both bark at my open door

 

confessing nothing

I grin bloody

and proceed to gnash some more

    • kevin browne

      always a spark full event when sitting down to embrace your writings. this is a great one Heather T and I think you're not hatter mad. thanks for allowing us to read it.

      • Heather T

        Thank you, Kevin!

        Tell me Heather, did you have a little nip "hiccup" while writing this? Love the poem, nip or no nip, it is not easy to even come close to the esteemed Mr. Carroll, nee Dodgson, but I would venture to say you may have done it!

        • Heather T

          I could have used a nip, but had to settle for imagination instead! I'm thinking I might need to add a couple syllables there at the end to fix the flow. What say you?

          • FredPeyer

            You want more syllables at the end? Here is a possible solution, but I am sure you could come up with something a lot better:
            Confessing barely nothing
            I show my bloody grin
            Last line unchanged

              My favorite comment! Whittle me a good toothpick while you're up there, case I have to pick a few of you out of my teeth. Thank you, b-e.

              Sinister, wicked, and a tad bit of humor. Wonderful stuff.
