the door prizes open, no knock or key required
no permission needed to go inside
sweet goodness
chocolate the significant
in her children’s world
memories of her childhood
a mother’s offering
frozen mornings, bleary eyed as they rise
as she sits, the porcelain cup of her sweet
goodness held gently in her hands
unnoticed pool of tears
they the most important, yet she daydreams
the Mock Turtle on her wooden kitchen chair
presents not forthcoming the day the last door opens
she struggles
perhaps the rabbit hole, escape
her door to fantasy
gifts under sweet smelling pine
as it use to be

I have decided to encompass both suggestions – and I hope it works. Advent Calendar leads the way….
For dVerse The Callenge from Claudia so… it’s your choice… you can either write a pre-christmas Advent poem… preparation… tradition…decoration… share your Advent story with us or even give the christmas decoration a voice
or… write an Alice in Wonderland poem… about her, one of the characters or in the style of it.. off-beat conversations.. poems which tell a wondrous story… let’s fly a bit… smiles
