She sees things upside down
Not on their legs, but hanging down
It is not her fault, just give it a thought
A world on its head, down and out
Land and waters above her head
The sky is laid beneath her feet
Bountiful holds and keeps her in
sight
She glides in style with steps so light
North is south and west is east
Nothing makes sense, not the least
But the sun shall rise wherever it will
God has made her this way as a hint
She walks backwards, the way you leave
Where you finish, there she
begins
As you rest, she sprints in speed
Eyes half open, like a bird she
sleeps
She is made different, but special she is
The world in doldrums, wherever she sees
On edge she lives,a human she is
What will happen to the world she thinks
She is assured from time to time
Time is not yet ripe, to be on her side
But the world would no longer be the same
If it shall see through her eyes!
Beautiful Vinod. the poem has a snappy beat to it. tried my hand at editing again. Please do incorporate any part you agree with ( it does not take me time to edit because I copy it in word and edit as I read, perhaps the best way to for a poem

Still looking forward to pictures with poems
Nice and ryhthmic. Is this based on a real life girl who does everything topsy turvy because that is how her brain sends signals ?
ReplyDeleteDear Ashok ji, Thanks a lot indeed. I have made the necessary changes as well as one minor correction.There is so much I am learning from you.Pictures with poems, I have requested my grandson to help, as I am not so adept with the applications. But he has time for everything except me. I would learn all by myself and would be able to post some pictures as advised by you. Thanking you once again.

Dear Ram, Thank you very much indeed. You guessed it right. I was really moved by her condition,and this poem is by way of a small tribute to her.
