Write a poem of story that could be titled 'I'm upside down'.

Directions Or Lessons

Left right down up

Upside down or right side up

Is a tree falling or flying

Is it possible for birds to be falling

Gravity is taking its toll

I am flying but my friends are screaming


Right down up left

Left or right which is which

Am I right for being left

Or am I left for being right

My friends are screaming

Gravity has taken over

Do I remember how to scream


Down up left right

Down is left

Or is down right

I can’t remember

The birds stopped talking

How do I end this day of sorrow

My friends are screaming

I am falling

The ambulance has arrived


Up left right down

Is this right

Or am I left with sorrow

Do I say goodbye or hi

I don’t remember this story

But my friends are screaming

The sirens are blaring

And I have landed

Upside down with a grin in a frown

For is it my feet or my head that lead the way

I can’t recall

I think I was born upside down
