Lewisia In Wonderland - Acrostic

Photograph of the Lewisia Cotyledon

Like Illicium verum or the artichoke, when in bud, 

enticed by delirium, Lewis Carrol would speak of

wonderland being small, it would seem a tiny stud 

illicit, the means of decorum by Alice's puppy love,

some curiosity evolves, as species, an enlargement 

in some dreams, we wake up small as we envelope

assemblage, array the beauty too good to comment.   

Cadmium would deter mimicry from a pretty frock   

oppress supplants each dress as it is somewhat err 

to gaze where sits who, we are simply here to mock

yersinia pestis, magnified, without the potent scare;

let us show who, among us, ravishes a tush like few 

enlists take accrue unlike this mammoth sit around, 

dependent I'd guess, on who, is sitting next to who 

obnoxious whereabouts, how wonderful impound,

notice, is shown opposite that we all look alike too...

Author's Note

N.B. - I would imagine this is how Lewis Carroll may

have dreamt up the initial "Alice in Wonderland" idea,

adding very different characters in the process.
