As She Likes It: Found Poems from Chapter IX of Lewis Carroll’s Through the Looking Glass
 
 
For Warmth
 
Two,
or three
at a time.
Sometimes,
as many as five.
 
Five?
 
Of course—
five times as warm!
 
 
Talking to Herself
 
He came to the door,
corkscrew in hand.
I sighed, gave it up
like Humpty Dumpty.
 
He wanted to punish the fish.
The roof came off—
I couldn’t remember my name.
 
 
Just So
 
I meant the other way…
that’s a poor way of doing things—
only on Thursdays.
