Believe me there is no confusion like it (well, for sensitive souls anyway...some hard-hearted types barely notice any change)! And this poem is a very light-hearted look at some of the feelings...bits of the experience are funny but most of it is HELL...and such a very long version of hell.<BR/><BR/>You are much better off experimenting with villanelles. <BR/>xRachel Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11803852725693518924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1564859019305736550.post-32879447840571277632008-08-24T15:57:00.000+01:002008-08-24T15:57:00.000+01:00Excellent job with a tricky format.

Interesting also that without drugs there would probably be no Alice (and lots of other literature, music etc.).
