A Journey into Wonderland
A Journey into Wonderland
170 words
I gazed upon the flowerbeds, a sea stretching far and wide;
Beyond the river a white rabbit, with a waistcoat and a watch.
I saw him scurry along, running and jumping as if trying to hide;
Hopping, skipping, leaping and bouncing, like a game of hopscotch.
As I caught sight of his shadow along the horizon, I saw him drop down the rabbit hole;
Curiouser and curiouser I followed him, into a world of colour and chaos and all things bizarre!
As I dropped down to the floor after a never ending fall, I saw the golden doorknob and keyhole;
I turned to my right and saw a round table, an ‘eat me’ sign and glass jar.
The white rabbit, almost out of sight, ran straight through the door;
But as I was much too tall to fit, I asked the door for help.
He said ‘eat a biscuit from the jar and you too can explore’;
‘A world of laughter, adventure, character and wonder, a world you will adore.’

My head is a jungle
My head is a jungle
140 words
My head is a jungle, vines intertwined,
Never ending thoughts and feelings crossing my mind.
My head is a jungle, tall trees towering above,
The canopy filled with darkness and dread and not an ounce of love.
My head is a jungle, uncertainty hung in the humid air,
I gasp for breath as I take in my surroundings, look around and stare.
My head is a jungle, the rushing creaks and waterfalls crashing into the water below,
I wipe away my tears as the cracks begin to show.
My head is a jungle, I push away the branches but they start to crack,
I tell myself to hold back the negative thoughts and tears before they attack.
My head is a jungle, and I am the explorer,
I must look out for myself, for I am a creator and restorer.

The World Is Your Oyster
The World Is Your Oyster
69 words
It may take time but you’ll find your way,
Just take a breathe, don’t hide away.
The world is your oyster, you’ll get there some day,
No need to panic, things won’t go astray.
We each have our own story to tell,
Life works differently for us all, no need to dwell.
Take time out for yourself, you know you’ll do well,
You’re sensational, spectacular, and you will excel.
Hey there!
