Best Inside Out Poems

When life seems hard and you are down
Sad lips are in an awful frown
Turn your focus inside outward
See what others are all about
Then you'll find without a doubt
Reasons to look with thanks skyward

When life seems hard and you are down
Sad lips are in an awful...

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...

Inside-Out with all the psycho-babble.
Multifaceted melange - merry and melancholy.

My pen’s prophetic,
authentic,
inadequate.

Hazel eyes that ponder divinity:
See the world.
See God through the world.
See the people.
Empathize with earthly beings.
Fall to my knees.
Seek inspiration.
Grab it with gusto.
Don’t wait for the brain to catch up.

I observe the peculiarities in...

UPSIDE DOWN
inverted, topsy-turvy
unhinging, disorienting, confusing
puzzle, somersault; details, viscera
twisting, wearing, turning
front to back, socks

Inside Out

The mighty mitochondria make ATP, 
Without which there’d be no you or no me. 
From glucose, bonds break and energy flows, 
Through various molecules, energy goes. 
From foods that you once eventually ate, 
ADP gets another phosphate. 

It can reproduce when only one, 
(But...

Beauty from the Inside-Out

We have searched for unfading and true beauty in unsearchable places. 
It is unfortunately to most of us, we have ears but cannot hear-we have eyes but we cannot see
We have become nonentities due to ideas and influence that persuaded us that...

Hi princess sparkling treasure
always touching forever beautiful 
hearing from you a song sings 

Thinking of you all the time dreaming
each message looking upon your crowning beauty 
Tonight I smiled looking into a pearly white moon face

Full dreams around you darling
picture perfect in my mind
I will...

OUTSIDE-IN---INSIDE OUT! ©   TANKA

Very green flushed carpets
Sky blue azure topped ceilings
Tree branched sofa chairs
Mirror sea rippling four walls 
Windows and doors shut!


REBIRTH!  © TANKA

Infant birthing new 
Into mankind-likened modes
Start fresh from homed sights
Cultured to suckle blind
On...

When the prize
Seeks for the price,
Afraid of the cuts
It would cost

When the cub refuses to roar;
The lion in him crawls to soar
When the antidote shys from being used,
Her worth is only abused
When the heroine seat with arms fold;
The enemies stand with the morning on hold

Alas!...

Inside Out   Upside Down

There are times, at least once every day,
when I seem to be turned inside out,
when life itself seems to get in my way.
My mind is cluttered, clouded with doubt.
My decisions have flipped me upside down,
wearing the saddened smile, so out...

•I am a pen, not an artist nor a Poet,
•We're all slaves like Israelites from Egypt,
•They try to be red like a matured Scarlet,
•Let's all join together like foods on a Plate,
•Why should we Differ like Millet or Separate?
•Let's come back to reality before this...

YESTERDAY TURNED INSIDE-OUT BY DOUBT

There once was the past
A past that couldn’t last
Nor to fasten fast

There once was a yesterday
A yesterday that said yes to the merriment in the middle of the month of May
Yesterday

There once were dreams
Dreams misbegotten by misery and maudlin moonbeams
There were...

TING means “thing” said she who masquerades as my niece with the tongue stud and nose ring. 
We used to put them in our ear, now they put them anywhere
BRAH is new for “bro” and does not have to be of your blood
Normal requirements would...

Take me to Crete,
or take me to Rhodes
Please Mediterranean 
me in my soul
Salt me in waters
which lapped at the feet
of every sentinel
army's defeat
Blue me in atmospheres
sun up my core
Forgetting me there
makes me just want it more
Take me to Rhodes,
or take me to Crete
Please Mediterranean
me to...

Thoughts float over my senses,
Chaotic noises of old memories
Dance together with innocent tears.
The past bent down on its knees,
In front of my tired crying eyes
Me and my other inside me,
Stare thoughtless, quiet and wet,
This consciousness’ spectacle inside-out my head....
