As I considered this article, I decided to look up the word “upended.” The definitions made me think of a boat or canoe. Maybe a personal craft on the sea of life. Here are synonyms I found to help define upended.
- flipped
- inverted
- overturned
- upset
- bottom-side-up
- tipped over
- capsized
I don’t know about you, but these synonyms gave me a mental picture of upended.
