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.

Oh, very clever, to out-Carroll Carroll!
ReplyDeleteLOL what an opening line
ReplyDeletemuch love...
Beautiful writing. Can't understand a word of it so it must be good.
ReplyDeleteClever, clever, clever... and true!
ReplyDeleteWonderful. Sigh. Love the title, the build up to "filtered raw
ReplyDeleteNot gloomy, just fractal corpuses," and the marvelous brevity. Such fantasy and humor, as in Wonderland, reveals the dark underside.
Everyone needs a porpoise in life !
ReplyDeleteSuch a merry beat to these lines - reminiscent of Carroll to be sure.
ReplyDeleteOh, shades of frumious bandersnatches, this is great fun! Well done.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this!!!!!!!!! A bit too much, LOL. Love the intense and porpoises especially.
ReplyDeleteThat first line! So clever and fun.
ReplyDeleteFun.
ReplyDeleteI love that opening line!!
ReplyDeleteHmmmmmm!

Lewis Carroll knows his stuff!
ReplyDeleteAnd so does J. Cosmo Newberry!
DeleteLet me join the chorus in saying you did a real good job.
ReplyDeleteLove the twist in playing up Carroll which takes some high-witted thinking. Out of the box it is, Cosmo!

T'is brillig...positively frabjous!
ReplyDeleteSome 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.
ReplyDeleteFun, well written, and maybe even brilliant,
