Dear Sister,

"I'm late! I'm late! For a very important date!

No time to say hello, goodbye! I'm late! I'm late! I'm late!"


Hurry, scurry, no worry, some bunny runs here and there

Logical, hodge-podge-ical, lure you to follow fair hair.


Plop you into wonderland where you'll grow proud and tall

Pumped up by praise, love, food, with her you'll get it all.


Hides behind White Rabbit, the sultry blonde hare really cares

Dizzy, in a tizzy, beats up the clock, somehow she does get there.


A bouncy roller coaster ride where imagination becomes quite real

Touching, hugging, poetic lapses, there's no way you cannot feel.


Into every life a little rain falls with a splash from the Mad Hatter,

Fearless, peerless, happy dance, she bursts what's the matter?


Pompous king and queen fall like dominoes at her pedicured feet

She reads cards, celebrates stars, brings everyone past defeat.


Crazy adventure underground, only for the few brave-hearted

Emerge on banks under the sun, understand what she started.


Love, Alice


Welcome to my world, Sistahs! Once again Sistah Mariana, thank you for the inspirational journey when I needed it most.


This is also an example of the week 7 prompt for Rhyme Sublime, have a good time!

I am estatic, I am estatic, I am estatic and in love with you in wonderland--so very creative and so well articulated.

It's wonderful and the best of all I read!
Mariana T. Mar 11, 2012, 12:45pm UTC
Greetings Sistah - will be sending out a group email soon. Yesterday was the deadline for this Third Step but am extending the deadline until the 15th - as each sistah needs to comment on everyone's step and post the Third step by then. I'm using this space as a forum for folks who do not check their mail. Thanks and hope you're having a good day! Salud
