then aLice, curious as a kitten
opened the biG wooden door
& found the moSt delightful thing

a birdcage in the middLe of the room
fiLLed with kisses in miniature sPoons
(82 to be preciSe)

how odd, she thoughT
& hoW delicious

now if she can only fiNd the key
to set them fRee
what a luCky girl she would bE

I anoint you the, the modern day Grace Slick, though your poetry is better than her singing, ha....light as air.....

[SmileGRL]

walt...oh my gosh, that's the most beautiful bird cage i've ever seen. thank you so much, my friend. you rock!

saw...thank you kindly mr. steve. though i am afraid i'm about to drop something quite heavy on you with my next poem. grace slick...never heard. please share a link to the song you had in mind...

[saw]

hey smile...grace slick was the lead singer for Jefferson Airplane, and the song I had in mind was a classic of theirs, White Rabbit....if you google the band and song name there are numerous recordings of them doing it...she was actually a fine singer...and your poem took me back a few years....about thirty.....hope you like it and see the connection..........

[justwalt]

Hey Saw, you must be a youngin' yet, White Rabbit was written
somewhere between '65 and '66, and first performed in '66...
43 years ago...the band changed names to Jefferson Starship..
and then to Starship and was at a time the only rock band with
songs in the top ten charts each year for four decades in a row.

She was right here, picking flowers, with that cat of hers, and she disappeared. Fell down a rabbit-hole or some such.

But then I awoke and it was still a lovely spring day. It was just a silly dream.
Grand adventures underground -- next you'll be saying I was whisked off by the Prince of Darkness
to eat pomegrante seeds and rule as his Queen. No, I was just chasing my sweet kitty and got
swept up in some erudite hare's misfortunes. And that, I am certain, was merely based on too much
chocolate cake at the picnic. Thus I fell back, or rather, continued my usual bucolic life with kith
and kin, engaging in furors and trivialities -- until it was time to fall again.

[SmileGRL]

thanks for the song, steve. very cool. alice is quite the artist inspiration.

& thank you miss laurie. alice or not. we fall in and we get up and sometimes (if we pay attention) we get where we are going...

SmileGRL, there is a gentle passion and urgency in your poetry which draw me to read you. I feel I come away with new way of seeing the world.
