Imagine a world

full of wonder and dream.

Imagine a land

ruled by a red queen.


A queen so cruel 

that most run and hide. 

Her foul, unholy smile

can make young ones cry. 


Down a rabbit’s hole

into a strange new land. 

With wonder to behold

and danger at hand. 


I’m the one that disappears.

A magic act.

Do not be fooled,

for I’m no ordinary cat. 


You are the one

they call Alice. 

Beware for in the east,

lies the red palace. 


Beware of the lies

that travel to the east.

The red queen’s spies, 

are full of deceit. 


A prophecy is told 

of a battle among two. 

Red versus white,

the hero needed is you. 


The day has come

for beasts to be slain. 

Save our home,

from this cruel tyrant's reign.


She wants us all dead!

Off with his head!

That’s what she has said, 

this wicked queen of red!


The battle has begun

between red and white.

The two champions, 

to death do they fight. 


What was once a dream 

of a world at peace,

now seems lost

to this harsh reality. 


With a sword of steel

now at our feet,

the world now welcomes

a champion’s defeat.


To her knees she fell, 

with no strength to last. 

We watched on 

as her death came fast. 


The world we love

now full of dread.

For Alice has lost

to the wicked queen of red!

I took the story of Alice in Wonderland and added my own personal twist to it. I always wndered what would happen to a story if the savior and hero were to be killed. Well that is what has happened in my poem. Alice, who was supposed to save Wonderland, was killed during the battle between champions.
