Jabberwock

The original Jabberwocky poem by Lewis Carroll is such a brilliant work because the Jabberwock could be almost any kind of animal thus leaving the imagination a free rein. However, I felt so sorry for the poor beast that I could not resist writing my own poem from the Jabberwock’s perspective. Amongst the illustrations are an orang-utan’s eye and an axolotl’s hand. The images are as ambiguous as possible and true to my view of Lewis Carroll.
