Run

Multiple Meaning Word Twist Poem

Run

Don’t run away
because I’ll give you
a run for your money.

You act like you’re on
the run from the law.
How can you pretend
to love me when all
you do is RUN.

I feel like I’m in a
race, run, run, run 
trying to catch you
as you move to 
act in your next 
Broadway run.

You left the engine
running outside your
other friend’s apartment.

You know the one. 
She runs that business
you have to visit every 
single day.

How do you know
I'm a runner for you
when I could be 
racing to run for
another.

Like your dog
who runs about 
chasing after you.

Hello, Robyn, well done for a free verse poem. I like the double run meaning. Makes me want to sing, "Should I stay, or should I go now." :) How about this one, I've got to run, because I got the runs. LOL.. That is a joke. I can run my mouth all day, yet never run dry. Wait that's the same meaning. Awesome Poem... Love SKAT
