Let's Make Believe

Dear diary...

Unexpectedly showing up

carved into beautiful wood,

I can't help thinking there

lies the beginning of an

emerging poem.

I found this charmed creation

a mysterious formulated vision

of Wonderland, developed from

mind filled with inspired energy.

Figure appears almost abandoned;

rigid, entwined with rambling ivy;

yet assembled for slithering motion

most strange.

Notable eyes appear dreamlike,

preoccupied with weird and

ethereal, symbolic construction;

allure of make believe.
