    FAIRY TALE TOLD

    Conciousness swiftly follows
    the rabbit down the hole
    like darkness swallows light
    my mind insanity stole
    my heart beats furiously
    with anxious mental clatter
    with the wasted energy
    of the crazy mad hatter
    i make my way alone
    through the twisting mazes
    of my restless dreams
    and delirious crazes
    as i run from myself
    trying to find a safe palace
    i can’t remember my name
    but they keep calling me alice
    i feel like i’m falling
    and it’s only the beginning
    as i land in the web
    the talking spider is spinning
    i dreamily gaze around me
    i am now on a farm
    with wilbur below me
    then i hear my alarm
    i open my eyes slowly
    there’s hay in my bed
    and a chesire’s smile
    in the darkness in my head
    i have a story to tell
    an adventure to behold
    with every nightmare is
    a new fairy tale told

    Wonderful take on a favorite fairy tale. Tom Petty would appreciate this one sice his video was done as expertly as your poem. LOL! Ginga

    Nice verses! More! More!

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
