Inside Out

Inside Out


Does enclosing a part of the outside
To make a dwelling
Really create an inside

Sitting in my house
I look out and realize
The house is part of and sitting outside
And, so am I
Inside out

Warren, Whoa, triggered the agoraphobia in me. That first question in enigmatic topsy turvy surrealism. I hope you always enjoy the great indoors. Maybe catch a flick at the Drive-Out movies. -Richard

Warren, I am confused on the concept of the inside out. I am just grateful I do have a home to keep me warm and have the beauty of the outside world. Thank you for your visit on my poem, “ Harbinger Birds of Spring” and leaving a wonderful compliment. Hugs Eve

Hi Eve, so good to hear from you. Basically, in my poem, I'm just saying that what we call inside is in reality outside space that is enclosed. Calling it inside doesn't alter this fact. Good luck with the contest. All the best~ Warren
