Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

Topsy-Turvy

The world is topsy-turvy
And from what I can observe,
There’s so much that can unnerve me;
Every pitch thrown is a curve.

So much time I spend conversing
Focuses on things adverse.
In despair I keep submersing
And it just keeps getting worse.

Yet today, the sun is shining
And I’m feeling fit and fine,
So I’ll take a break from whining
And I’ll stick to the benign.

There is music, there is reading;
There are pathways to proceed
And if hope is what I’m needing,
I can find some, guaranteed.
