This one was tricky. I had trouble finding any ideas or inspiration for this one as writing weird dream like poems or stories is not really my thing. I've never been a big fan of Alice in Wonderland. So it took a while for me to find an idea. Ultimately the inspiration for this poem came to me when I lied down with my notebook and pen, among some of my panda plush toys and a bowl of jelly beans because we were celebrating easter with a jelly bean party. I know it's sounds weird and childish but hey, it's fun and I love it. Then it hit me, with the right wording this panda jelly bean party could become the weird dream-like surreal poem I needed for today. And so I wrote. Please join me in the bamboo forest for jelly bean party! Enjoy!
Panda Jelly Bean Party
The pandas gather in the bamboo forest today
For today is easter! Jelly bean party day!
Smells of fruit and sweets fill the air
As jelly beans tumble and bopple around
Into the bowl
Paws dig in
Strawberry jam and chocolate pudding sing songs
Of PB & J that might have been
Faces twist when sour green apple and sour red cherry
Meet in the grove
Bubble gum burst in loud bangs as popcorn and toasted marshmallow
Chase into abyss
For today is easter, the day of the jelly bean picnic!
Come tutti-fruiti with the orange and the lemon
And let your heart give in to joy.
Thanks for reading!
