You didn’t think we could celebrate a whole week of Alice in Wonderland and not have a creative writing prompt to go along with it, did you?
Sit down, have yourself a cup of tea, and get scribbling:
- Write a prose poem…
- Use a character from – or inspired by – Alice in Wonderland…
- Include at least two portmanteaus in the poem…
- Include at least one ellipses…
- Consider including some dialog between characters…
- Incorporate lines from Alice in Wonderland or another poem…

As Ann Lauterbach writes in “Alice in the Wasteland”:
You know a poem is a poem the way you know love is love./…/Poems don’t need explanations, Alice said…/Poems are examples of themselves.
Write on.
