DEDICATION

A concoction of dreams

Like fairies lullabies

A conundrum for Alice

And her pet by and by

A story poetry book for keeps

Called ‘Maguk World’

I dedicate this book to all

Dreaming Alice’s

With their supercilious pets

Behaving superior than ordinary ones

Extraordinarily

Day dreaming

To take them far beyond earth

To a magic realm

Myth, legend and razzle-dazzle

All tumbling down

In a topsy-turvy

Upside down twisty hole

‘Maguk Well’

‘Avrah k’dabrah’ (Abracadabra)

Beyond earth and universe…..

‘Adarna’ and ‘ye Kom’

In my mystical book

One can taste

Cherubim tree of knowledge

Keruvim Ets ha Darat (Hebrew words)

Enjoy all you Alices out there

With your dreamy fishy adorable pesky little pets

By Leoni Robens

INTRODUCTION

Babble is to speak rapidly and randomly as did the people at the tower of Babel when they lost their ability to speak to one another.  Here in my babbling book of poetry I unite together foreign languages of different worlds scattered far and wide

To well describe and depict another realm far better than best-Good, Gooder and Goodest…. A ‘Maguk Kingdom’ of babbling towers, brooks, spires and domes, one of my marvellous stories ‘Maguk World of Princess Cardinal Fairy Alice with her Lil’ cat Papillon pet Fairy Dinah’, falling through an endless Maguk Well, who travel in an ethereal adventure to the bottomless pits of the world in an unparalleled universe beyond countless Giga bytes and Decimbleters (my own made up words of poetic art) including so many funny poems inside short poetry story. One will thoroughly enjoy reading with great gusto and cherishing Alice through another spiritual perspective.

Therefore concluding one last example the Hebrew word ‘ayin’ which is not only the name of a Hebrew letter but also the Hebrew term for eye. My audience be like the Hebrew Eye- "Eyes that are windows to the soul. Looking at these poetically charged organs one may proceed to read into ‘Magic world!’- ‘THE MAGUK WELL’

MAGUK WELL

Pennies granting wishes

Fell inside this magic well

Man repented

Sins changed to goodwill

And good wishes

Evil to love hence

Meanness to goodness

Greedy to generous spirits as well

Far from further

Further away from farther

Rough hewn hedges

And coal tar wedges

The kingdom lay in a hemisphere divided

Apart from earth

Full of tainted sin and martyrdom

Yet stood apart from all rest

Material things

Hidden inside a twisty and snaky path

Upon a strange hill

Inside a hidden strange Magic Well

Called Maguk

Furthermore further thus apart

It wedged and divided

Earth and

The earth’s crust

Upon a grassy knoll and hilly tussock

Stood hollow magnificent strange Maguk well

Downtrodden though

Firmly built with stones, mortar and cement

WHAT FELL INTO STRANGE MAGUK WELL

A well in which everything sank

Woes, pleasures

Trinkets, toys

Dogs with clavicle collar bones and haunting treasure maps on their backs

Cats with dreamy fishes and delicious milk saucers on their coats

Bulls, cocks, hens

Mourning, Laughing, Diamond doves

Fan tailed, crested, green, crowned pigeons

Columbidae of every kind and types

As well pigeon chested, v-shaped

Herculean Samson’s, Goliath’s

Gargantuan giants, dwarfs

  Pygmies as well

Hour glass divas, Cardboard Tarzans

Fiction with fantasy into it fell

Specs of fairy dust, atoms, molecules

Airy-fairies, wishy-washy elves, Gobbledegook goblins

Pink and purple pixies, magical genies

Fairy sparklers, fire crackers

Such stupendous fire works

Gargoyles and demons

Camels, pear trees, oxen

Clocks, lamps, boxes

Seals and walruses

Even forbidden apple tree

The cursed as well blessed indeed all fell

Angels, cherubs, witches and sorcerers

Into the well threw and flung themselves

Like a Pandora’s Box

Opened one day

The Maguk well

Its doors

At one’s own free will

And one’s own peril

Fell again everyone

Dancers, clowns, ballerinas, actors

Along with harlequins, gymnasts, buffoons

Panjandrums, vagabonds, beggars

Who yearned for truth into its secret chasm

Strength and valour

Along with weak, timid as well fickle men

Hammers, chisels, screw drivers

Pliers, tongs, pincers, drills and bellows

Fortresses, mountains, bridges, streams

Cathedrals even thimbles

Curtsy their sharp pointy needle friends

Flung heartily and soulfully

Whole and sound

Into Maguk well!

One day a beautiful Princess

Named Alice

Purposely put her knees and ankles in shallow waters deep

Along with her Lil’ cat Dinah

Fell into the abysmal well

Purportedly just to see

What happened beneath the strange receptacle

A fathomless bucket

So many had drowned there indeed

Into a sea bed of glistening pearls

Buccaneers, Pirates

Kings, Princes

Queens, their valises

Vases with flowers

Trees with leafy bowers

Mermaids, castles

Soldiers, sailors, captains, pilots, navy men

Marching drills in uniforms

Along with farriers, tinkers and tailors

Aliens with strange propellers

Tourists wearing Panama Hats

Mermen and fishy things

Oyster pearls, cockles of their hearts

Mollusc locks and Shelly bolts

Dived deep inside it

Raindrops, dew drops

Fell right into Maguk well

Good knows whether they splashed

Along with it waves, mist, fog

Sugar cubes, salt and pepper shakers

Like bee lines even bee hives

With all of them fell

Arable lands and pastures

Grazing upon it farmlands, cattle and sheep
