I think we have all had these moments. I like how youve given a real life view of Alice/'/s trip to Wonderland. We all have our regrets in life and only so few of us are able to put our experiences into words in order to try and shed some light on the path for others so maybe, just maybe we can help prevent them from falling or taking the same paths that we have taken. Yet again another great piece my friend. Thank you.

A positive message at the end.
We all need some make-believe but what is the price.
You are wise.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
