Rabbit Hole

What dangers lurk
on the dark side
of one’s
imaginary world
what fantasy
will lure you
to your undoing
in such conniving ways
so innocent her smile
she will entice you
most beguiling charms
down an endless
rabbit hole
deceiving snare
illusion turned
to quicksand
and to what end you ask
it’s nothing more than
a silly game
~ beware

Ann Foster November 10, 2019 at 10:13 AM Games can be dangerous... we just don't know. We need to read the rules... lol.. but we never do, until they are often broken. Loved it... you are exceptional. Ann Line Gauthier November 10, 2019 at 2:57 PM Thanks for your lovely visit and comment, Ann.
