DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE -Poetry by guest author Lynn White




I woke in the sunshine

and stretched sleepily.

That was when I saw

the hole under the tree

where a scraggy, stripy cat

had spat and snarled at me earlier.


It was too small for me to go down.

so I scraped

and scraped

to make it bigger.

A rabbit would have done better.


I found a stone

and started to dig,

dig till it was big

enough for me to go down.

Scrabbling

falling

scrabbling

falling,

looking for the end

wondering why

there was light

there

wondering

if I’m awake.

Then I saw the rabbit.
