alice in wonderland represents the quintessence of adventure, danger, and curiosity. her journey through a whimsical, yet perilous world reflects the boundless spirit of exploration. alice's fearless pursuit of the unknown, despite the bizarre and often hazardous encounters, encapsulates the relentless curiosity that fuels both discovery and poetic inspiration. in some ways, i see myself in alice, the way she changes the mundane, makes it exquisite, unnatural, and wonderous. the way love grows out of her & springs forward. sometimes i may forget my alice, but i hope to never forget. and maybe this small corner, will remind me of that…and maybe, you too.

now, i will caution, some of these are happy poems, others are sad. they’re all valid, and all wanting to exist. so get a cup of coffee & tea, and enjoy alice.
