There's something wrong," he said.

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

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

Whimsical & topsy-turvy
A partnership of mirth & hilarity

Arthur,leading composer of his day-
With light opera,they made their pay.

Toilers of the Dark

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.

Premium Member Rocky Road

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.

Withered Youth



Off their garments, they naïve

Pose the young Adam and Eve

In the picture booth

Hail! Go withered youth

Ignore poor innocent grieve!

Is it really, real?

Twist of unreality

Unlucky fatal thoughts

What I see out my window

Unwanted conscious scenes.

Returning Home

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.

Premium Member What if it rains

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.

9 Swimming Fly

Swimming Fly



In a canteen where my food I buy

I draw my eyeballs to viands nigh

There was a soup hot as good

But something odd shifts my mood

A speck out of place, a swimming fly!

Media Beside



Come! Lo! Valiant knights who never hide

Allow not the truth be put aside

Zip not thy mouth, ears open

Walk not with doubt, eyes listen

Do odd, let them see media beside.

Flightless Wings



Call me, flightless wings, don't deny

I do flip, flap, stretch, yet cannot fly

For what are we or me

In night a star that's wee

But look! I'm still beautiful! Thanks, High!

Past Caring

Love barbs singed my heart, churning feelings of revulsion, flying topsy turvy in every nook and cranny in the heart that once whisked feelings in which I basked with hope, delight and anticipation. 

Fed up I wanna break 
Free of the shell I now elect
To wrap, cast in my past.

River yonder bathe Danica baby subtle

Shampoo and soap ye by Mother Lily gentle

Far from across mom's eyes see

Running reptile must clumsy

Huge, unusual blue-green hump rush gone fast turtle.

Honest Lie



Lady someone asked young beautiful man

Grace supposition as elegant swan

Paired male eyes upon her up to down

Wears he anonymous smile nor frown

“Fairy dear!” cries mouth's obvious honest lie.

Found Mr. Al Gator guilty human killer

Law impartial show must him in railing teeter

Croc tears flow icy eyes

Gloom mark blooms purring mice

Jail possessed by him – independent prisoner.

Beginning Ends



Monday in Baywalk's orange afternoon

Jay meets Joy due a dish of pork and spoon

Heads talk and name they exchange

Hearts walk and love they arrange

Aware this beginning ends, shines the moon.

Soundless Shout



Alas! Ouch! What is this thing pulling me out?

Off in my mother's womb where I came about

Aray! Oh I'm now bleeding

Aray! My flesh here shredding

I'm helpless, nobody hears my soundless shout!

For Royal Reyes' food so chef they urgent dire

Another time, another maiden fast new hire

Spoiled children now happy they

Stuff tender hope everyday

But cook, her Excellency, finds crisis – cold fire!
