Definitely not Earth

For the last two poems from the Poem a Day Challenge on WRITER'S DIGEST, I've started to write about out of the world places. And frankly, I have no clue why, other then the fact that writing about out of the world places are fun. *nods vigorously

Day 16 - A messed up kind of world

The sky is the ground
The ground is the sky
The blue is the grass
The green is the sky
The leaves are bark
The bark is leaves
Dirt is food
Food is dirt
Cats are called dogs
Dogs are called hamsters
Hamsters are called mice
And mice are called cats
Stars indicate daytime
The sun indicates midnight
While dark and light is considered night
Water is hair
Hair is champagne
Champagne is nectar
Nectar is honey
While honey is air
People have gills
Instead of arms
Talons for feet
And a brain made of gears
That are able to perceive what a messed up
 Normal kind of world
They live in 



Day 17 A world unlike ours

In a world unlike our own,
There are vampires with fangs
Sucking the blood of the most unsuspecting victims
Unicorns with horns
Acting all light, merry, and gay
While, brownies worked day and night
Making items so like our own
There are trolls under bridges
Waiting, waiting, and waiting
For what I do not know
While the fairies and imps
 Flitted around in the most obvious of places
There are elves with pointed ears
Causing trouble for everyone including their own
While the centaurs grazed peacefully
In a beautiful green field so different from our own
All the while satyrs chased the nymphs
Giggles and smiles being spread among them
As they wonder who’s going to be with whom
In a game of cat and mouse
While down by the water
Mermaids and Sirens sing to everyone
Killing anyone and everyone one by one
Giants romp around playfully
While the ogres look for food
With their stomachs constantly growling
It’s no wonder why they’re always searching
All the while, witches and wizards cast spells
Trying to keep people like us from seeing
The fantasy world of theirs
