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

I’m Upside Down

It’s the middle of summer, not winter nor fall

I’m wearing a sweatsuit - pants and all

Its so hot outside, I’m drowning in sweat

This is surely a moment I’ll never forget


I’m upside down and backwards

I’m inside out and crosswards

Sometimes I smile, sometimes I frown

I’m twisted up, I’m upside down


It’s the middle of autumn, leaves fall to the ground

Gently floating, not making a sound

I arrive like a whirlwind, disturbing the peace

I tear through the silence, not wanting to cease


I’m upside down and backwards

I’m inside out and crosswards

Sometimes I smile, sometimes I frown

I’m twisted up, I’m upside down


It’s the middle of winter, not summer nor spring

I’m wearing a swimsuit - why would I do such a thing?

I’m freezing, I’m shivering, I’m so very cold

But I am defiant, persistent, and bold


I’m upside down and backwards

I’m inside out and crosswards

Sometimes I smile, sometimes I frown

I’m twisted up, I’m upside down


It’s the middle of spring, flowers are blooming

The bees are buzzing and flitting and zooming

I pick one to follow and it leads me to its hive

I’m soon surrounded by the swarm, will I survive?


I’m upside down and backwards

I’m inside out and crosswards

Sometimes I smile, sometimes I frown

I’m twisted up, I’m upside down
