“Alice:How long is forever? White Rabbit:Sometimes, just one second.” L. Carroll
Poem (task)- 1-SB
Through shade upon shade of aquamarine and sapphire,
Set below burnished gold,
Hand upon helpful fin and skin to silky skin,
In joyful oneness with their graceful strength,
I swam with gently dolphins.
Trudging and staggering, coldly determined,
Through whirling white and glacial glitter,
Across crystal chasms and frozen floes,
Ploughing through shifting drifts of snow upon snow,
I journeyed to the Pole.
As I blasted off to the violet vastness of space,
It came for me, creeping on stealthy feet;
Drawing me back to my shadowed pillow.
A stricken statue of terror,
Shaken by my heart's tumultuous beat.
A sighing drone, a grumbling groan,
A growling voice - trying to talk?
A rattling, rumbling drawn-out moan,
(Good morning! It's time for my walk.)
With a jump and a bump and a slithering slump,
I could feel his hot breath on my head!
Not a ghoul with a curse, a monster or worse ...
Just my dog, jumping up on my bed!
