Falling... falling... falling!
First, a tumble,
A somersault, a shriek and fruitless grasping - clutching - grabbing
A plummet into the depth, the unknown
As the sunlight blinks out, a glow from below
Reveals the curious impossibilities
hair whipping the face, stomach rising making home amongst the ribs,
Diving
O
W
N
then
Sinking.
Slow drifting, casually even,
Shock turns to awe, fear to intrigue,
Clocks in odd places with distorted faces,
Floating amongst plates and books, clothing hooks,
Maps, lamps, mirrors and chairs
Suitcases and fireplaces (unlit, naturally - who'd be around underground?)
Peculiar things abound
Wondering, questioning, speculating
Falling... falling... falling...
Author notes
This poem will make a lot more sense if you're familiar with one of Carroll's works - Alice in Wonderland. It was an assignment for English 11.
I apologize about the uncreative title - I find them harder to come up with than the poems themselves!
Thanks for reading

Welcome to Allpoetry
This is excellent!
I picked up on the reference straight away, being a big fan of Alice in Wonderland.
Love the context, and the use of grammar and spaces with the appearance to play on words, well done.
Welcome to the site, enjoy

Alice in Wonderland is My FAVORITE of all time....
You did a great job with this poem. I enjoyed the entire piece but the ending....the last half....the momentum increse was fantastic. Awesome.
Titles: I like simple short titles, its a personal opinion only....
Wonderland

Alice
