Down the rabbit hole and back
again, just a floating smile
in my mid-air. Is it always there I wonder?
I mean I think I know it is, but I
know that I think it sometimes isn't.
Who has the time these days for mad tea
parties and the such? Always so late, and whanot.
At least I think I know I am?
It's getting hard to be someone somtimes
but in the end it all works out,
with a few days lost overall, the clock being
exactly two days slow, still only a year ago,
but you know I know that it's
all a dream, but when we wake up
I know you know that it's all
real in the end, and you know
that I really do love you and you
really do love me.

i don't think there was much 'imagery' in here. it more kept ideas and scenes that are easily associated to an image from its inspiration. but its a nice piece, i like what you make of it.
-
That was refreshingly different. While some parts seemed deliberately confusing (like dead ends in a maze) others made sense to me, though they might not to others, and though I might not have drawn from them the same meaning you originally placed there. Good times. I mean, good write - I took something away from it.

No much imagery
I didn't get much imagery from this poem, more of a philosophical monologue, but I liked the monologue. After I read through it a few times I found some nice chunks of thought. -
great
i really liked the imadry in your poem- and it was an overall wonderful poem -
good poem really liked the imagery
-
I like this. The mention of the chesire cat lends a lot of reality to the idea presented here that you love her, she loves you, and that you both see that together. Nice!! - oce

Excellent
A fair take off from the story called: "Alice in Wonderland", which I read many years ago. Imagery, was done quite well. Thanks for sharing. -
Alice in wonderland the book was actually a very twisted dark tale. I am glad you used that element to really discribe your emotions
The Positives:
Great imagery and very origional
The Negatives:
Nothing that I see great job
My Favorite Part:
It's getting hard to be someone somtimes
but in the end it all works out,
with a few days lost overall, the clock being
exactly two days slow, still only a year ago,
This part was really awesome I really thought that this was great
Overall:
I give this an 8/10 you did great. I hope to see you in my future contests thanks so much for entering.

This is a well written piece. I liked the journey it took me on to something and somewhere different. I wonder if putting a few stanza breaks in a few places might have given this more space to breathe. well done

I like where you took this ... the reader is taken down the rabbit hole to something completely unexpected in this write.
thanks.
good luck in the contest.

Reminds me of alice in the wonderland... a few misspelled words but other than that I have nothing bad to say about this write. I thought it pretty good myself. Thanks for sharing this with us.
-
Hmm an interesting thought. Good Luck

I think those lines are my favorite. I like the way you start this poem. I like the flow, and the ending is great. Bes of luck in the contest. I like the way you put a question mark at the end of that line, to depict a hint of uncertainty.
Keep up the great writes!
