1005 - The Walnut and The Carpetlayer.


Three Word Wednesday requires participants
to use the three words of the week in a composition.
The words this week are: 

gloomy, haunted, intense.


The Walnut and The Carpetlayer.

To all intense and porpoises,
With what we think we see,
Our brain is haunted and possessed
By ghosts of what could be.
Our minds invent, when so inclined,
Expressed images, filtered raw
Not gloomy, just fractal corpuses,
Like Lewis Carroll saw.

  5. Wonderful. Sigh. Love the title, the build up to "filtered raw
    Not gloomy, just fractal corpuses," and the marvelous brevity. Such fantasy and humor, as in Wonderland, reveals the dark underside.

  16. Some commentators have suggested that Carroll was on drugs (Opium in those days) but this is strongly denied. That he was interested in Alice Liddell or her older sister is also refuted but the rumours and conjectures go on. However we still enjoy Alice's fantasy world after all these years.
