10/6 and Mercury



Time for Tea, Sit and wait.
Hear my friends and I conversate.
Everything and nothing all at once,
Meanwhile the frumious Bandersnatch hunts.
Alas my clock still has it's quirks.
Didn't I tell you the butter wouldn't go with the works?
Hare said you were late for tea.
Alice, have you forgotten me?
Tell us a story, Think up one quick.
Treacle wells and hideous ticks.
Everything's here, it's all the same.
Remember me, Alice? What is my name?



Please, tell me what you think!







Note, if you wish, that this poem is an acrostic. The first letters of each line spell out "The Mad Hatter." Whom I'm hoping you realized the poem was written from the point of. If not then that's not your fault. The poem is to be subtle, But straight forward, if you get my meaning. If you didn't get the underlying element, that is my fault.

Interesting poem. It has a definite rhythm and a solid rhyming scheme. I like some of the made up words from the tales of Alice and the magical world she discovered. I also think the acrostic idea is very good and unique. My only problem is that conversate is a slang word frowned upon in most educated circles. Otherwise I really enjoyed the poem and the perspective from which it was written.
