Written for a poetry challenge; rhyming acrostics are very limiting and I find them difficult to write.
Alice in Wonderland (Rhyming Acrostic)
Alice, dear Alice in your land of wonder; Listen, can you hear a voice like thunder? Is it the Jabberwock or the Mad Hatter; Could it be the Knave of Hearts, for that matter? Everyone in your world can alter their voice.
In your magical realm everyone has a choice. Now that these visions have set the scene,
Will you please tell me all that you’ve seen? Oh how I am wishing to be with you there; Nothing would stop me from meeting the March Hare. Down in that extraordinary rabbit hole, Everyone is eager to take a thrilling stroll; Reality fades and fantasy flourishes. Ladies and gentlemen you may make your wishes. Alice will be our most gracious guide; No one must stray away from her side. Do not let common sense be swayed by your pride.
Ah, Alice in Wonderland, rhyming with wisdom you did it, and I think there's an Alice in all of us ladies, especially stated for myself. Glad I could read this poem, only wish I'd read it much earlier in time. I think it will be a great comfort to me in the future for good reading.
I am terrible with 'form' poetry, but you managed to tell a story taken from the classic, beautifully with this Acrostic. Well done, Reg! ~Hugs, Elizabeth
Regis....no poem is difficult for you to write my friend cause you write from the heart and you write with much passion and vision...fantastic write yet again my friend...cheers!
Regis, This is an excellent Rhyming Acrostic! Love Alice in Wonderland! Very well done my friend. HUGS,~ Chessly

loved it.....especially... Do not let common sense be swayed by your pride...some people are very proud dear Regis...what to do ?
the write is verrrrry veeery nice... good wishes :-)
To write an acrostic using the title 'Alice in Wonderland' that is about Alice in Wonderland seems an uneasy task, and you have managed to do a fine job with it. Flow seems good to me. I enjoyed the read. This is a good poem though I would not say it is one of your greatest.
Darling Regis!!!
You have penned a wonderful Rhyming Acrostic!!
Very Nicely Done!! I Love The Story Line of course
& also the dancing rhytym as I read it too!
I still like that babbling brook poem best that you
did a few years back
...about the flatlands for some Indiana Woman :)

Goodness, Regis... ANY rhyming acrostic is difficult but one of THIS extraordinary length and complexity of subject matter might be thought near impossible to accomplish with any degree of continuity and success... Very well done! YOU DID IT! This reads perfectly relaxed and complete and remains true to the beguiling nature and dialogue of the original. Impressive! :)) xx
Excellent Regis! Thanks for sharing your beautiful gift, and for reminding me of Alice in wonderland much appreciated! May the Lord bless you in a very special way!
Oh Reg, you did great! I have only written one acrostic poem. It was one where I was mad at Alan (yrs ago), no one ever noticed as I did not point it out. Hee hee!!! Love & Peace to you! x
This is really beautiful Reg, and you actually made me smile while I read this. I don't know if I would like to fight the Queen of Hearts though, but an adventure in a wonderland would seem to be great. I wonder though. Thank you for sharing.
May the Lord Bless you, and those whom you love, and be with you always, and walk by your side. With love in my heart, joy to the world, peace on earth, & ((((((((((MANY WONDERFUL SISTERLY HUGGGGSSSS)))))))))), your den sister Barbie
Splendid writing, Regis, almost like a fable...well done

This writing is well written, and I like the effects. I am not knowledgeable about poetry types, and I have never read "Alice In Wonderland", but this writing makes me want to. Thanks to you, Regis.

Regis, difficult to write, yes, and you wrote it excellently. "Alice..." is a fun read, making it 'appear' to have been easily written--the sign of a skilled poet! ~leslie

Not only is your acrostic rhyming, but it gives an insight into some of the characters of Alice in Wonderland. Extraordinary!

You did an awesome job here Reg. It is also timely, considering the movie just coming out. I think Alice would find your addition quite a tribute.
