Here she checked herself
in some alarm,
at hearing something
that sounded to her
like the puffing of
a large steam-engine
in the wood near them,
though she feared
After 3:00 pm.
Rocket-propelled drones.
Headed for Lviv.
Once again.
Initially, the Air Force reported.
That drones were.
Over the city;
Over the city;
The regional governor announced.
That air defence systems.
Were in operation;
And at around 3:25 pm.
An explosion was heard.
In Lviv.
Power was cut off.
In part of the city.
it was more likely
to be a wild beast.
‘Are there any lions or tigers
about here?’ she asked timidly.
‘It’s only the Red King
snoring,’ said Tweedledee.
‘Come and look at him!’
the brothers cried,
A drone has crashed.
In Malehiv.
In the suburbs of Lviv;
A drone has crashed.
In Malehiv.
(Near Murovane.
Where a drone crashed.
Earlier this morning.)
There are reports of fires.
In houses.
And three people injured.
Says the regional governor.
and they took each one of
Alice’s hands,
and led her up to where
the King was sleeping.
‘Isn’t he a lovely sight?’
said Tweedledum.
Alice couldn’t say
honestly that he was.
After 4:18 pm.
An air-raid alert.
Was declared again.
In Lviv.
– a new group of.
Jet-powered kamikaze drones.
Was heading for the city.
The authorities reported.
A drone over the city.
And air defence operations;
The alert was lifted.
After 4:40 pm.
The regional governor reported.
That the drone had been.
Shot down near Lviv.
With no casualties.
He had a tall
red night-cap on,
with a tassel, and
he was lying crumpled up
into a sort of untidy heap,
and snoring loud
– ‘fit to snore his head off!’
as Tweedledum remarked.
*Because I read “Росія атакувала Львів, Луцьк, Тернопіль і Хмельницький, 25 поранених у Рівному, у Харкові 4 загиблих (Russia attacked Lviv, Lutsk, Ternopil and Khmelnytskyi, 25 wounded in Rivne, 4 dead in Kharkiv)” on 13 Oct 2026 on the BBC news Ukraine, and also “Why are Ukrainians calling Russians ‘orcs’?” by James FitzGerald on 30 Apr 2022 on the BBC news.
So, I wrote this poem, led by ‘THROUGH the LOOKING-GLASS’ written by Lewis Carroll, you know.
