behind my bedroom door
Ellie Hoovs' Wonderland Poetry Prompt Challenge Day 19: Door
my bedroom door has superpowers
blocking reality from rushing in
overwhelming me
behind there
i am alice
falling into rabbit hole fantasies
until alas
i am awaken from peaceful slumber
and am forced to step out the door
back into reality

Where's the Glory?
In breaking news, rehabilitated Republican Senator Johnnie Johnson (Pronouns: HE, HIM, HIS) called a press conference from the Men’s room of the New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport, Concourse B, across from the Ignatius Reilly’s Lucky Dog stand. The Senator had just returned from a sexual reorientation rehabilitation program in Memphis, TN after being publically disgraced at a Buckee’s Truckstop restroom soliciting sex from an undercover cop three months ago. He is a founding member of the Reformed Christians for Christ, a conservative, pro-family and ex-gay advocacy group. In the spirit of being reborn, Senator Johnson invited reporters to marvel at his plans for a major remodeling of airport bathrooms.

Love this- was the prompt simply the word "door"? Great way of twisting what a door does, and this line in particular was nice- "falling into rabbit hole fantasies". I don't know if it was deliberate or not, but I also liked how the first five sentences all decrease in length, like someone falling down...
I relate!!!
Wonderful! I love the sense of escapism where behind the door is a safe place to dream!
This reminds me of that special place we all have that we go to just to escape from reality if only for a moment. Even if that place is only inside our minds.
Oh, that darn door. Only if it opened upon some other reality
