That's interesting that you have an inspiration for the story like that, as that's always good. Your works seem to be fairly inspired. I'm glad that the poems aren't mandatory. I've mentioned before that metaphor is my enemy, and poetry often relies on metaphor and hyperbole. I feel like my stance on poetry has to do with my mind taking things literally, even though I know better/I myself can exaggerate. I'll try to read it with an open mind, though, and skip those parts if I can't handle it. XD

As for Alice in Wonderland, it's on my imaginary want to read list, but I haven't got to it, as I've been tied up with manga for a long while, now. I have a copy of Alice in Wonderland, though. I hope to get to it eventually.
