Making her topsy turvy in no light...

life waylaid by confusion
we search a world of
topsy-turvy Escher halls
climbing flights of endless stairs...

Devil battling

Rid of paranoid
Leads to void

Sometimes wait
Rid ill fate

Job to shine
Reflect divine...

Topsy Turvy Tomato
Finally yielded some fruit
I get exercise to boot
For I have to get on my knees
And sometimes lie down to beg please
Release the tomato to me...

But it slipped out whilst it was cooking
It covered the oven base
Was an absolute disgrace
Yet the taste was second to nothing....

Some days the pen weighs a ton, or two
   On others it's light as a feather
Our lives are topsy-turvy, ever-changing
            Fascinations in adventure
   ~Just like poetry weather...

Weatherman's predicts snow, hate... hate... hate
Not civilized for sure
Outlook's damn poor
The world's topsy turvy, sure am irate...

Whimsical & topsy-turvy
A partnership of mirth & hilarity
William,dramatist with much to say
Arthur,leading composer of his day-
With light opera,they made their pay.

Topsy turvy lives,
we lead.
We rare ones,
a special breed,
not all can be.
Sunrise is sleep, 
mid-day slumber.
The moon, our luminary.
We awaken 
with lengthening shadows.
Hallway haunters are we....

a scarecrow smiles,
an infant sneers
a lion bleats, 
a lamb growls
thieves chase the police,
pea-hens strut feathers n’ dance
everything is topsy-turvy~
in sync with the times!...

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

Topsy Turvy, Wavy Curly,
Twists, Turns and dips,
Bumpy Road,
No road code,
We've got to get a grip.

Hold on tight,
With all our might,
While on this rocky ride,
All unite to end this fight,
Or we will end up dead....

Is it really, real?

Twist of unreality

Unlucky fatal thoughts

What I see out my window

Unwanted conscious scenes.

Topsy-turvey and
Not releasing is
This discourse. 

Stale, no - 
Seeping into a 
Cavernous mixture that
Overwhelms the Self. 

Sensing immortality.
An impossible reality. 

Dragging my feet
into puddles of
deaths lost
and pains remembered....

Clickety-clack train
and topsy-turvy brain.
Need sleeps tight and sound,
drowsy wheels are turning slowly around.
On the way to my home.
Ah! I'm missing my comfy room.
Though higgledy-piggledy bed
but all I am craving is my fluffy blanket....

Whoopsie is a topsy turvy murvy lurvy swervy kind of gal
I stopped by her teacup house yesterday because I am her pal
What if it rains? I asked her, what do you do then, my friend?
It never rains in the kitchen she said and curtsied with a bend....

There was a naughty boy
And a naughty boy was he
For nothing would he do
but scribble poetry:

He took up his pen
again&again
Indoors or out
into his head
ideas did shout
Why was this so
No-one did know
like Topsy they just
seemed to grow!...

my
week

from yours

today is
wednesday
for you 
but

on military
time
i kowtow
but will never

bow
spelled 
the same as
bow
wow
fetch me
some arrows...

ordering
hors d'oeuvres
simple finger
food for my
delight

taking in a bit
of wasabi
opening senses
to absent scents
revealed

reveling menu
of mussels
clams and
pearls
of oysters

tastes topsy
turvy turn 
my palate to
ask red wine
with fish?...

There was a naughty boy
And a naughty boy was he
For nothing would he do
but scribble poetry:

he took up his pen
again&again

with never a doubt
inside his head
ideas did shout

Why was this so
No-one did know
For like Topsy
they just seemed to grow!...
