Stick to Your Lie

Posted on July 30, 2013 by Charles Yallowitz

Monday Poetry Prompt from We Drink Because We’re Poets.

Up is up and down is down
Unless you turn it all around
I point to the sky
Declaring it as left
Up has been retired
Right is front
And down is back
The evicted take my sides
Top is at my toes
While bottom is on my tongue
All these have been changed
And I stand solid in my words
Your arguing is silence to my eyes
Have I made you lose your mind?

Charles E. Yallowitz was born, raised, and educated in New York. Then he spent a few years in Florida, realized his fear of alligators, and moved back to the Empire State. When he isn't working hard on his epic fantasy stories, Charles can be found cooking or going on whatever adventure his son has planned for the day. 'Legends of Windemere' is his first series, but it certainly won't be his last.
