A dark version of "Alice in Wonderland"! You certainly communicated the disorientation, and the cascade of "d's" and "s's" plus the rhymes added to the intensity. Here's to getting centered- Joan

    I manage to get there sometimes but maintaining can be a different story.

Gorgeous, gorgeously wrapped with essence. Being lost and, involuntarily spilled into life's chatter and clutter, in a daze while wondering of all the ways to be and to not be. Truly a poem.

I have had many days where it just seems I can't get my act together. Of course, I spend my days teaching six year olds, so that might cause some of it. LOL I enjoyed reading this well written poem.

It sounds like your life is a little topsy-turvy right now. I sure know how that feels:) This is a fun little poem to read.

Dear Dallas Alice,
This was a corking good poem. There was very nice with contradicting opposits, but your closing lines about the fireworksknocked me out and pushed it over the edge for this six. I was thinking, "Damn, I wish I had written that!". Great write--Ted

Yes I have a problem being centered ...I am jet lagged and days are nights and nights are days...but the world goes on expecting me to function and being turned inside out is exactly how I feel....good job Dallas
God bless

    thanks for reviewing and the creative comment. Not sure you would ever want to be in my head. It gets so busy sometimes it's like rush hour in NYC.

spilling silence as I scatter
compelling expression of emotion with strong visuals

Regularly have a problem getting centred - particularly when I'm back at work and feel like I have a billion things to do - I love the contrasts provided by the poem - because when you really mull over the words - it's kinda mind-boggling :-)

I like the sense of spilling silence which is what fireworks do after they open. Light and silence. You're poem uses opposites that can't happen to show the randomness and crazinees of life.

Keep writing
