Borsht

‘’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves

Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:

All mimsy were the borogoves,

And the mome raths outgrabe.’

 

 

It snowed again…

And there was a blizzard…

And I slept and fought the virus…

I’ve already won!!!!

 

 

‘I see it now,’

Alice remarked thoughtfully:

‘and what are “toves”?’

‘and what are “toves”?’

 

 

As for the photos.

With borscht.

I wanted to show you.

How we cook.

 

When there is no electricity.

— on our stove.

Which we heat with wood…

But it’s okay —

 

 

‘Well, “toves” are something like badgers

– they’re something like lizards

– and they’re something like corkscrews.’

‘They must be very curious-looking creatures.’

 

 

We are warm.

And not hungry…

But what about those?

Who live in high-rise apartments?

 

They buy small stoves.

That run on gas canisters…

‘Elves’ are strong people!!!

They find solutions to any problem…

 

 

‘They are that,’

said Humpty Dumpty:

‘also they make their nests under sun-dials

– also they live on cheese.’

 

 

It snowed again…

And there was a blizzard…

And I slept and fought the virus…

I’ve already won!!!!

 

 

‘’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves

Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:

All mimsy were the borogoves,

And the mome raths outgrabe.’

 

 

*Because I read my friend’s new letter.
So, I wrote this poem, led by ‘THROUGH the LOOKING-GLASS’ written by Lewis Carroll, you know.
You are a magical poet(poetess), my friend!
And the photo at the head of this page is, of course, yours, my friend!
