In festive and uplifting spirit Steve
Had high hopes to get laid on Christmas Eve.
Down her chimney he dove,
Ended up in the stove -
Time and again laid plans flopped to relieve.
WHAT GOES UP MUST COME DOWN
When racism climbs,
let’s be as gravity:
Bigotry’s demise:-
rise,
upward, cumulative
ascending, climbing, levitating
surge, crescendo, nosedive, slump
plummeting, dropping, sinking
plunge, descent
fall
full,
total, whole
jam-packing, loading, extending
entirety, aggregate, cavity, nothingness
draining, unloading, purging
void, abyss
empty

What goes up must come down
Except for a bodily function quite renowned
A function so joyous
We utter loud voices
Voices that can be heard all over town
WHAT GOES UP
W hat goes up
Must go down to the ground.
Also, what goes up will come back around,
And, it doesnt matter cause it will happen and can happen in every town; that's whether you are happy, smiling and or with a. Frown ; I say this, because its a fact that what goes up must come down low, slow or below, and why is that? It is, because nothing that goes up or in the air must remains there, simply because its a time to fly high, run around and to get down on the ground; or on on the lower deck, and that there is a fact jack ; I ain't talking smack either, and so, let us focus and realize that. everything that goes up must n will go down or pop sooner or later. We must make sure that whatever that goes or comes around or goes down is something that will make us looks good and to keep a smile on our faces; even so, that will earn us a crown and an embrace with a good taste and with lots of good grace. And so, with that being said, let us stay up with what's good and right; most importantly, with a real good name, and so we won't come down or lose our crown. Shalom n enjoy.

bouncing pouncing jumping up down keen
somersaults on trampoline
enthusiasm giggles
out doing big brother’s errs
bouncing higher higher like jumping beans
what goes up must come down what the hack
flip, lull …. plop flop flat on his back
turns head over heels in air
landing on her feet with flair
this is the way you do it with knack

In that spark, at summit
When sky is just on the way and is not the limit
Like lime being squeezed out of last drop of juice
As throne and king, in sweet affiliation, never in truce
High up taunting the call of gravity
Columbarium in tornado, reunion with plummeting abyss a true test of vitality
Motivation a lambasted frugality, an eternal ignite for those who drown
Is in action when what goes up starts to come down
What goes up must come down, but what Blair,
a disgusting dude, threw in the air
was not too appealing.
What stuck to the ceiling -
not to come down - was Blair’s underwear.
Written March 5, 2016 for the What Goes Up Must Come Down Poetry Contest
of Catie Lindsey
my heart climbed high,
on a ledge for you,
we held out our hands,
this love was brand new,
you built me up higher,
i had no memory of the ground,
when you held me close,
i was floating on a cloud,
then came the silence,
the ignoring my distress,
you took me to the stars,
then you left me with the mess,
of a heart shredded to pieces,
and a soul broken in two,
just because you got bored,
i was no longer flying next to you,
no now i am falling,
and it scares me love,
im watching you move forward,
on your own up above,
i know that we are done now,
you made it clear as day,
that what goes up falls down,
and now im down to stay.

Like a sun goes up each time when morning comes
It sets in the afternoon as starry night is about to rise
So I started to think when will this cruel man fall?
Plays like a kid making the city like his toy
People yelp in pain for they are ruthlessly controlled
Is there someone who’s brave enough to rule this world?
This cruel man keeps going up and must end his greed
Must come down and start to bring desired peace
Step down and don’t go beyond your evil plans
Make the world ours for this is our land
Anything for now may smoothly run in your hands
But anything could happen like a snap
Just like a familiar adage that I used to know
“What goes up, must come down…”
The grass is green and the sky is blue
The sun is hot and the rain wets you
As the sun rises the day is new
This we're told but is it true?
Ice is cold and fire is hot
Green is for go and red is for stop
Down is below and up is on top
We're told they're opposites but can they swap?
Lightening we can see and thunder we can hear
Distance is faraway and close is very near
Quickly looking is a glance but any longer is a stare
How do we know what to accept and what to fear?
How do we know what to choose?
Have we told all this just to confuse?
Do we have to believe or can we refuse?
I have a feeling they're just one persons' views
Time goes by when the clock is wound
It's not missing when it's been found
If you can turn a smile into a frown
Then what goes up must come down
Here we go--
Jack of spades...
Eight of clubs...
Four of hearts...
Ace of diamonds...
Ten of hearts...
Three of clubs...
Six of diamonds...
King of hearts...
Nine of clubs...
Queen of spaaa...
Queeeen......
...da'mn it!
I never could...
build a good...
house of cards--
Beautiful Lake Erie bound by New York
Romantic honeymoon, bottle and cork
It went up with Viagra
spilled unlike Niagara
racing fast to arrive before the Stork!

Cheers!
Fly
high
above
Consequence.
Make your great escape
on a psychedelic carpet
through humdrum clouds of mundane life,
to a state of "I don't give a damn" euphoria.
Throw caution to the wind with the plunge of a syringe and no thought of it's cleanliness.
Now,
come
crashing
back down through
a fog of regret,
to the diseased bed that awaits.
Wallow in lies and cover yourself with deception.
Tell yourself, all is well; you don't have a problem, as you reach for the needle once more.
