Just recently, I watched the Netflix original series Stranger Things where they travel to a sort of alternate reality they call "the upside down." So, when today's prompt was 'upside down', I had to reference the show. I loved the ghazal form I did a few days ago, so here is my second attempt at this fascinating form.
Upside Down
They disappeared into the dark upside down;
A monster lurked deep in the murk—upside down.
Some days it feels my life is great, I have it all together,
But then, something subverts my heart upside down.
Eleven times I took a swing and missed;
It only takes one single hit to turn the work upside down.
When I met you my life was good—I didn’t know
I was kindling you would spark—upside down.
Change can be for good or ill—turn yourself about,
Flood above the watermark and upside down.
So upside down it's right side up. tee hee 'eleven swings' (mimes taking shirt off)
