Today's Poem

Upside Down

We know the world is upside down
In every street, in every town
So much to change, but where to start?
It's deep within, a change of heart

Tune out from all those boasting lies
Each word and gesture, thin disguise
For people say so much, but think
There always is a missing link

The jigsaw has so far to go
For all will reap just what we sow
Take time to find the missing lid
So long ago that this was hid

A riddle every day, indeed
For riddles sometimes we will need
No boredom here, so take the frown
And learn to turn it upside down

Yeah, life sideways is like being in a dryer.

Or maybe we are like a huge herd of knockleheads marching toward a cliff and falling into a sea...

I guess we start with ourselves....the hardest place to start...

Love the last line. Especially for those with their lives turned upside down.

A lilting poem that has the makings of a song. Nice!

Great words of wisdom with the poem! You are right about people reap what they sow. I also enjoyed the ab, cd style rhymings in this poem.

Say Something Terrorible v3 by RickthePoetWarrior

My mom says ‘If you can’t say anything nice then don’t say anything’. Sorry mom but under the guise of poetic license I penned these beauties.
