Easy

Where is behind your back?
Or more importantly,
where is behind your front?
If behind your front is in front of your back,
Isn’t behind your back in front of your front?...

Long time ago in the land of Nod
Lived a tiny creature who looked quite odd
It was back to front
From its bum, it did grunt
It's being investigated by the “Back to Front” squad...

A sentence reads the same back to front
There must be a name for that as long as you hunt
If you know tell me
My mind's full is debris
Sure don't dare challenge it but I have a hunch...

Once put my nightie on back to front
Kept backing into walls, what a big dunce
Faced away from the table
Tried to eat, wasn't able
Then wifey asked, “is this your time of the month?”...

My libido will rise,
Only with appetite;
Only will it ride,
If close and tight;
We can kick and slide,
But will never fight;
The back and front sides,
Will be of different size;
And will take you high,
Far, than the kite!...

Sign said “ONE WAY” but I was only going one way
Shades of Sesame Street, oh for those long ago days 
Hard to go both ways at once
Like wearing undies back to front
Dr. Suess was the kookiest man since mayonnaise...

Upsidedown on monkey bars
hanging from my knees,
dopey grins are sorrowful frowns
and upward drift dry leaves

Swinging back to front –
my favorite view of life,
bobbleheads go  bobbing by
and time ticks counterclockwise

Only for me!...

She caresses his skin
Arches form the bridge reflect again 
In one heated moment of passion angels sin 
As their glances meet their love begins 
He swoons as the room seems to spin
Pulls of the net bring up the fin
Back to front they spoon and grin...

It’s always behind or in front

seems it needs a door to get to

never complains when it rains

pleasantly, pets poop & pee

friends & family cross to hug me

my connect out there

in the back and front

it’s what I have now for all the hard

that stretch out there

the yard...

A poem back to front
It's never done
Because
Once you start
You never stop the fun
And stopping just to see
What you might do
You never know
What an author might tell you
So listen closely to
That which I say
Please think about the words
I speak each day
A poem back to front...

Does your life then come together
front to back
or
back to front
It takes years to clearly see
that both
directions
are a ruse
Life revolving as a circle
with you
inside
its center
All phases caught in a whirlpool’s tide
that ebbs
and flows
— divine

There lived a country mouse 
In a catawampus house 
With roof aslant
From back to front
And crooked walls as well.

He did not mind at all
Running circles in the hall
He kicked at peas
And nibbled cheese
Then groomed his hair with gel!

The Playground (Haiku)

The rope tied tighter,
The swing is swinging so high,
Thy playground is fun.

Each child takes a turn,
Playing in the kids playground, 
Joy on their faces.

Tether ball, sandbox,
Many children love playtime,
All kids love playgrounds.

Monkey bars are fun,
One hand back to front swinging,
Each swinging child smiles....

I miss the way
———————-

I miss the way you looked through me, I miss the times so cautiously, the way you briefly smile, reminding me to stay a while, our glances, entrances, our chance is, however brief, with your heart ill play the thief... I miss the way you made me feel, on the way home tonight I reel, from back to front, why be so blunt... The way I feel...  Is real!...

I didn’t stay
because you didn’t listen
Warring night and day
for a little attention

Forget promises whispered
at the alter
What about us?
When did we falter?

It only counts when two 
equals one
But when one plus one equals two
It’s time I left you

(Some writings will be very simple,
and really stupid.
I am going from back to front and
attempting to write in every form)...

I put my shoes on back to front
to step into the past,
sent my watch by express mail
to make the time go fast.
Wrote 'atom' down as 'mtao'
just to generate unclear fusion,
told my friends I wasn't there
but an optical illusion.
Put my head on upside down
for a thicker head of hair and no beard,
when you can't think of topics for a piece of verse, then
what the hell- 
do weird....
