I very much like the " twist " in this poem. Shorty but clean...

Written by bonnysse who is a new member to the poetry site I visit frequently. Published 28th February 2018. I don't know much of this poet considering he is new to the site, but I see great writing coming from him.

In a way I feel many of us can relate to this poem in various ways.

FLIPPED

I was there and then I wasn’t. It was everywhere and nowhere. I had it, I know I had it, but then I lost it. All I was left with were the fragments of its wonderful memories, its beautiful sceneries and lands of limitless possibilities.

I was peddling but my bike kept moving backwards. Clocks slayed time…time was dead as long as it was being clicked off by little wheels, only when the clock stopped did time come to life.

The world was upside down, the sky seemed so close. I could feel the earth spinning as I watched the little dance of the stars. I searched for it everywhere, but then deep inside, I started feeling like I was never gonna find it again.

But as I paused for a moment, as I sat there in silence, my life flashed before me for a second, I smelled a pleasing aroma like that of the smoke from its wonderful magic chimneys and then it hit me, I was where I was supposed to be. I was there all the time. I never left at all.

I was there and then I wasn’t.
