Down the rabbit hole we go,
looking for adventure at every turn.
We aren't sure what we'll find
but we really don't care.
We're young,
and always looking for adventures.
The rabbit hole was miles long,
and a twist of different mazes.
_we're sure to get lost
No one told us the horrors we would find.
Shadows creeping up everywhere,
and the things hiding in them.
We were bit and scraped;
it's obvious we aren't supposed to be here,
but we have to keep moving on!
_but will we ever get back?
Down the rabbit hole,
we're already lost.
Suddenly this adventure doesn't seem so fun.
We try to find our way out,
but we can't.
_forever down the rabbit hole we'll be stuck
Then a light appears,
a guiding light.
We follow, because honestly,
what else have we to lose?
We run and run 'til our legs give in.
We have no hope left.
But a voice calls, "COME".
We stumbled forward,
and suddenly we're out of the hole.
_we're saved!
Author notes
I chose prompt 3, and I got "Down the rabbit hole" and I just happened to have read the book called that. This piece has little to do with the book, except I wrote to be through the mind of a child that looks for adventure, as the main character in the book is always looking for a mystery. Plus i'm making my own twist on Alice in Wonderland. Also, I've put in a little message of hope. Sometimes we feel stuck down the rabbit hole, in a place we and others don't want us to be, and think there's no way out. But there's always a way 
Hope ya all enjoy ^.^

This was a great write,
i liked the adventure that was penned between the lines that was equally as portrayed with the words.
It held a lot of hope & your message was well-conveyed.
I really enjoyed the picture & the background, btw.
Keep writing & good luck in the contest! -
Where did you get your backround? The font is awesome!

I found this very hard to read with the background and the red text, but ...
Wow this was twisted, although I love the way you showed it from a kids point of view, and then it totally wasn't what they expected, because when you think about it,
most kids would probably love the idea of being able to crawl down a rabbit hole because it seems magical, and the fact that they're never allowed to try by their parents, they never know the horrors of getting stuck etc -
thanks for entering

Aww this reflects alot of reality, shows how when you're young you just crave for adventures and find yourself down deep rabbit holes in a way!!
great prompt, and interesting take on it,

I like this because of the way you captured reckless childish exploration. I'm also glad that it ended with a happy twist. This definitely tells the story that you tried to tell. Good luck in the contest and thanks for entering!

Very nice writing here for this contest! I never heard of the book. At least they were safe in the end. I thought this may had been one of those dark sided poems you spoke of. Well, it did start that way, but the character was safe in the end. That's A-OK with me!
Great job!
