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

"The grass is blue and the sky is green;
There's something wrong," he said.
"There's nothing wrong," his friend replied.
"You're standing on your head!"

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

Art is imagination
Put into place
A safety box
Hidden in cave
Of rare nature
Unexplained wealth
Of tupsy turvy pics
Solve into pieces
A juxtaposition
In reality made.

I once made an upside down pudding
But it slipped out whilst it was cooking
It covered the oven base
Was an absolute disgrace
Yet the taste was second to nothing.

Limerick
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

The Blue Jays home opener is April 8th
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

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.

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.

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?

Toddling
stumbling
fumbling
tumbling
are some nights,like toddling stumbling child,
tipsy turvy fumbling tumbling mind.

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.

The world is in a whirl
whizzing its way along
Topsy-turvy, turvy-topsy
straight lines all curvy
What is asked from us
but to exit that bus
to escape the crush
to avoid the rush
To slow down and find
truth amidst the hush

Restoring
normality
to this
topsy-turvy
self-quarantined world
vaccines are
a true
game changer,
and like
a Phoenix
rising from
yesterday's ashes,
hope morphs into a smile
on
many sad faces.

Verse
Topsy-Turvy Love
Love turns the world upside down
slows the axial rotation
draws out passion’s sunset
compresses the hours together
shrinks the horizon to one face
cresting pillowed mountains.

Love came
in scented tingles,
waking up
the tongues
of lust. The Lips
in a topsy-turvy
pandemonium,
sleepy souls giggling
in erotic jubilation. Ah, the night
untangled, the morning dews
bathe the earth’s skin,
while our
throbbing hearts rest
in the sweat sodden bed, still longing...

eyes etched eerily
in mystic mists
of taunted tracks
drooling death damped
felon feet fostering
hoisted spree heaving
salient satyr scrunching
locked laced lips
in hankering hymns
saucy smirk blushed
zeal cold-blood cupped
punctured pleck dumped
lusty limbs lurching
topsy-turvy twain tumbling.

In today’s crazy,
topsy-turvy world,
you do
what you gotta do,
pick up jobs as you can,
but I must say
it is a bit awkward
to do your job
taking ‘grams
door-to-door
only to find
that you must
land a kiss
on your boss’s lips…
—————
an ‘e’ lipogram that will not be delivered to any contest doors… :-)

When your world is topsy-turvy
Opt out -- if you must
But don't stop CHARITY
GIVE a few coins, slices of food,
To the beggars, real or fake
And the universe heals THE HEART
By degrees. College degrees fail
All too often as does "religion,"
Just be human, a mensch, once
A day, at the very least, & "dance"
The blues away (reluctantly, secretly)
