"You told me, I’ll love you
For a little while,
Because I know
Even in Wonderland
Forever is a lie."

I absolutely loved that verse.
good poem.

I love all the allusions from Alice in Wonderland it was totally creative. You know how to be so romantic in such a pesimistic way, but happy endings are so overated anyways. The saddness creates such beauty in this poem. Please keep writing I love your poems.

Thanks for reviewing my piece--I thought it would be only fair if I checked out some of yours. This poem is amazing. There's really not much more I had to say. It's really fantastic, I love the idea of it; it's really creative. Nice job. =)

There really is a lot of Alice themed poetry around here, I think I'm going to have to conform soon and write one of my own!

I like the twist with this one- most of them focus on Alice and her insanity (or whatever) but this one brings a boy into it. Which is good, there's always a boy, or a girl, or some kind of heartbreaker disguised as a lover.

"You condemned me with that Cold cheshire grin" Maybe it's the alliteration, but something makes me love that line.

"Kissing you is the most fatal of all" was my favorite, though. Just very... true. It's like, there's all these crazy hurtful things in the world, and you have the power to really destroy me, but it's my fault because it's not your kiss that's fatal, it's the fact that I kissed you. Alice always blames herself, doesn't she.

Ahem, sorry. Alice brings out the poetic insanity in me. Great ending, keep writing. :)

Aww heartbreaking. I like it a lot tho. My friend has a saying she loves, "even roses have thorns." This kinda made me think of that.

I love the story behind this, and the way you make it link with alice in wonderland. Some of it is a bit cliched, like 'forever is a lie', but I guess that gives it its heartbreak charm. I like the italics. I especially like 'Don't cry little Alice, you said, Or you'll drown us all'.

At the end I like using both of the words 'perfect' and 'heartbreaking' together, as they seem so contrasting. But it is a bit teenage angsty. But I guess that's what it is.

I don't know.

Anyway, this is just the kind of poem I like. Good job!

Hey this was nicely written, it seems to tell a story within a short poem. Some poems just portray emotion, others tell a story that gives the reader something to feel emotion over. Um.. I hope that made sense lol, I mean... you made the reader feel what you were quite possibly feeling or what you wanted them to feel.

It was a nice twist on a fairytale, sending the reader into some sort of 'crafted' abyss... like we too fell with 'Alice'.

However there were some areas where the words seemed to be a tad bit disjointed...

"Painted the roses red with blood because
White never was my color." I liked that line very much, however I reckon the second bit could have gone without saying 'because'... because you (well at least I think you were) going for free verse, the because wasn't entirely needed...

The two sentences are quite powerful and sympolic, I reckon each on their own would each give contrasting imagery, rather than being joined.
Painted the roses red with blood.
White never was my color.

I don't know... It could however just be me and my weirdness, just my opinion.


However nicely done.. and thanks for the review.
