A lament from out the heart of one
knows to fall like silent dew
upon life’s idle murmurings
and turn the tables, chairs, and rugs
upside down and topsy-turvy
simply for the fun of it.

“Hear me, hear me!” and I most times do
but deaf ears will strut and preen again
with the change of seasons
and become a fashion statement
no one can live without.

I call them into being
sooner than the time decreed
for the beat of heart’s lament
irritates beyond belief
when mind would play a different tune
and move the body so, just so,
to the rhythm of these times.

But designers of the world
think it’s cool for ears to hear
and sketch and manufacture
what for years has been in vogue
and this disregard for what the people need
not deserving of applause
or undying admiration.

Stuck then and forced to be
in sync with heart’s lament
I can only shrug my shoulders
at topsy-turvy furniture
and join in the fun of it!

I think it's good that you have fun with it.
Love the topsy-turvy expression, it's fun in itself.
Your creativity unfolds in many ways, dear Helen!
Lovely piece, full of energy to change.

Love and hugs.

Styles come and go, what 'mom' liked in the 50's I've rejected completely, only to see it being worn or used in homes today as 'retro' and cool.

Enjoyed.(Hope I understood it correctly.)
