As I read Alice's Adventures in Wonderland it inspired me to explore my own personal creativity. I believe this fictitious dream world of Wonderland, is a place most people have stored in their imagination. After finishing the book, I wrote a poem about my own personal Wonderland and what I imagined it would be like.
"My Wonderland"
Sometimes I wish I could pick up the world
when I'm feeling crushed beneath it
and find a hidden gated path
to a place that's just my secret
And in my secret place there lives
worry free enchanting creatures
full of love and peace and kindness
among some other features
It's impossible to describe this place
without some special words
whimsical, three dimensional
enticing yet absurd
And when I'm all done fancying
and my feet let out a groan
I leave my secret wonderland
and dream my way back home

I like what you did here. I believe that everyone has their own wonderland, maybe without even knowing it. It seems to be a place where people can just explore, discover, and connect with themselves. For writers that may be a pen and paper; for football players, maybe a football field. But the point is that it is a place for them to escape the realities of the real world and go to a place where they discover truths about themselves.

I love the poem! I enjoyed the contrast between the real world and the "wonderland" as well as the realization that you can't spend your whole life there.
