Upside Down You Turn Me

Upside Down You Turn Me, By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB/META and @Brianrrs37 on Twitter/X)

Upside down black retracted umbrella
Coat hanger wires inside your skin
London fog jacket wrapped so tight
Fluttering spy of the October sky
Anne wrote of you
In an unflattering light
Cute dachshund shaped nose
Fish hook talons, tiny as thin
As dental floss, I am at a loss
As to why you get
Such an ill response
You are adorable
(end)

I read a poem by Anne Sexton today called “Bat” and it was vivid, but I love fox bats and they get a bad wrap. I think they are adorable.
