Ashes of Wonderland
May 19, 2013
I hate Alice.
The hiss of the curling
“c”, of blond
locks, snaking beneath the ribbon
tied; I stumble.
Where is this gaping hole you
Found? I am
lost! The violet sky, the pink
leaves, crumble beneath
my feet. Clawing branches
scratch, the broken keys white and
black; strands of hair
splitting? twigs topple;
Snap!
S***! I’m
heavy, hands strike.
“Your late!” Fallen
angel, drowning
in the valley of
ribs, cutting through the forest of
veins…F*** you
Alice!
For with my crooked wings I dig a
hole. My own;
tumbling,
Alicia.

Well I couldn't find "Beating Night" so I have nothing but this to read and comment. At first when I read this I didn't necessarily get it unitl I came across it the second time and slowed down. I loved the anger and the visual in this poem though there were times I got lost with the connecting phrases but I think that add toteh fact that the read was indeed lost. I found it refereshing.
I absolutely LOVED this poem! The imagery in this poem is so vivid and draws you in immediately. I also love how in the end you incorporate what i presume to be your name into the poem. It works so well because it is so close to "Alice". I also love the way you rhymed in some spots, it definitely added to the voice in the poem. It just sounded so awesome and flowed so well together. Amazing Job! :)

Hey there! The title and picture really go well with the poem. This poem was very different from most poems that I have read. There was a lot of emotion in here, not only that, but it was fury! I really enjoyed the feistiness of it. It's not often that I read an angry poem. After reading this I think I'd like to read more, maybe even write one. Hmm. I loved the twisted ending, I did not expect that. Great job!
