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.’
