Measured Absurdity
by Y. M. Roger
Hello, Yvette,
I don't know why, this poem reminds me of Alice in wonderland :) it's a fantastic poem and the presentation is beautiful. Well done my friend. I see you're getting into the groove.

Comment from Lucy de Welles
This is absolutely delightful! It would be disrespectful to write a review for something that stands so wholly on its own. A real 10! Perfect work.
I'm in awe!

Madness all round, Lucy - lol!! ;) :) Good morning, my lady! :) My apologies for the delay - usually a lot more on top of things... Your review and those stars are such a wonderful way to begin my 'task of finding my tail to catch it round here' (wink, wink!) -- thanx for the smiles and for your support always!! ;) Take care out there as summer closes and Fall rolls in this month! ;) Yvette
Comment from Ulla
Hi Yvette, yes, I know what you mean, yet it is still something confined to memory. Although, something is back to normal here not all is, and what you're describing belongs to some distant past. I would love to be stressed out again. Ulla:)))

Comment from Eternal Muse
Powerful quatrains for the contest. You used good creative imagery and visuals, your artistic presentation and artwork are amazing.
This should do very well in the contest, good luck in the booths.

Comment from Elizabeth Emerald
Shroomin' again! Alice went through the looking glass and voila! Whimsical imagery provides refreshing escape from Coronaphobia; alas even in Wonderland, masks are still required. Cheers. LIZ
Congrats on your prize!

Comment from lennis
This speaks to me in the style of Lewis Carroll and has the perfect balance of whimsy and fantasy. The feeling is uplifting, carefree and beautifully crazy. Love the imagery and the rhyme scheme. Great choice of picture, too! Very well done!

What a fascinating artwork--I want a gramophone hat and keyboard ruff just like hers! I am glad you had time for your pen to decompress! Thanks for the clever rhymes to make this a winning entry for the contest. Cheers- Joan

Good morning, Joan! :) My apologies for the delay - usually a lot more on top of things, but some family issues came up...

Never apologize for a response, slow or not--we all have complicated lives and competing schedules. Take good care of yourself as you support your father- Joan
Comment from robyn corum
Yvette,
You know, you scare me. *smile* You really, really do. I know - there is so much here. I have read this poem countless times - because I really want to get it. Sometimes I think I'm close... *smile* ...and then I'll read a line that pushes me off again.
I feel like it's a statement, a political piece, maybe? The Monarch, the masks, the sticky buns and the jail time and paints and the pits and the tolls... But then I'll read the line about the pontoon and I'm like - no, she just wants to drive me crazy.
So, I'll be happy when you explain this - if you decide to. Hurry back. We miss you.

You know, I started out like that and it was there in the mix, but I didn't stick to it as much as I could have simply because there was so much else crowding my brain at the time - lol! ;) :) Good morning, Robyn -- apologies for the delay, but thanx so much for the smiles, my lady!! ;) Take care out there as summer closes and Fall rolls in this month! ;) Yvette
Comment from Janice Canerdy
Hmmm . . . ! This is a wonderful poem--a colorful, appealing blend of whimsy and deep thought--well, semi-deep thought, anyway. (1) I would almost be willing to dangle over a pit to have a banana split. I haven't had one for years. (2) My driver's license picture looks like a mug hot!
LOL! (3) Could we make the kite candy apple red? Seriously, I love your poem. It rocks!
