Topsy Turvy

all behind me now
a memory of blue sky 
a nebulous cloud haloing
darkness before me
mystery awaits the plunge
I peer sightless into dark

roots tendril to me
a grasping sight, intriguing 
my golden curls dangle downward
imbalance betrays 
I teeter on the abyss 
enraptured, sound echoing 

back lit baby fall
seek the navels ending point
heroine of day dreams, topple
leave the precipice
seek the joy of choice and fall
now, peeked, plunge, now called, now fall   


What I would write based on picture 1 for my contest

I really like how you wrote for your own pictures. I can see now that they were pictures in your contest. Great model for us!
