Upside-Down & Inside-Out
The world is
Upside-down
And I am
Standing on the ceiling.
I gain this new perspective
With a smile.
The sky is
Inside-out
And I am
Flying through the water.
Laughingly I wave
As birds swim by.
The wind
Is colored purple
And the water's
Running backward.
The animals can speak
And the flowers love to gossip.
Our pillow
Is the soft grass
And the night sky
Is our blanket
And the stars sing us to sleep
For the world is what we make it.

I am envious because I have never been able to write a happy poem, sarcastic, yes, but never happy. You already know that this is one of my favorite of yours and now everyone else can see why. Reading List!

My feet are tapping as I read this; again.
"The animals can speak And the flowers love to gossip" is delightful. I feel that way about nature.
Delightful early morn read for me! Thank you
