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.
