Introduction

For Ellie Hoovs "Caterpillar" Wonderland Poetry Prompt Challenge Day 8, that you can join in with here:

I have decided to do a villanelle based on Alice's encounter with the Caterpillar. However, many of the phrases come from the story but they were not all said by the Caterpillar or Alice, so I could say this is also a Plagiaristic poem, though in a different to my normal Plagiaristic Poetry.

The music had to be "Caterpillar" by The Cure

The Caterpillar Knows

🦋🌬️🍶🍄🐛👸🐛🍄🍶🌬️🦋
Wandering Wonderland Alice Was Lost
She Met A Strange Creature On A Toadstool
Caterpillar Knows, His Words She Could Trust
🐛👸🐛
Caterpillar Smoked, His Thoughts Were Aloft
He Spoke, "You May Be Lost But You're No Fool"
Wandering Wonderland Alice Was Lost
🐛👸🐛
"Which Way Should I Go?" Alice Softly Asked
"All Roads Will Take You There, If You're Not Sure"
Caterpillar Knows, His Words She Could Trust
🐛👸🐛
The Caterpillar Said "Drink This You Must"
She Took The Bottle, And It Tasted Cool
Wandering Wonderland Alice Was Lost
🐛👸🐛
The Caterpillar Tilted His Tall Hat
Saying "Change Is Coming, That Is The Rule"
Caterpillar Knows, His Words She Could Trust
🐛👸🐛
Caterpillars Turn Into Butterflies
And Alice Was On The Road To Change Too
Wandering Wonderland Alice Was Lost
Caterpillar Knows, His Words She Could Trust
