Notes About The Poem

growing up as identical twins can be a bit crazy, funny how some cant tell me and my sister apart, especially when using big words such as " love" we used to fool so many too. Thought this might be a fun experience to share
 

Written for dodoitsu contest sponsored by Kim Rodrigues

twin trouble- dodo

held her heart, thinking of stars
he shouldn’t have trusted his sight…
it was my twin, he embraced~
awkward tale of lust..

Back with congratulations, dear Inky! What you see is often not what you get - with identical twins! This really does bring a smile to my face! Thanks for the smile! Samzy!

How embarassing that would be for a suitor. Two things, my Mom (passed away) and Dad are both identical twins. Also, once my sis borrowed a wig during a party and my husband was about to kiss her…lol. Oh my my my! Great and now with narrative! Congrats, IE!

This is so interesting. I love to see identical twins. In my class in the college, there was a pair of identical twins, so hard to distinguish. They used to play tricks on my inability to identify them. If I entrust something to one and if he fails, I will be scolding the other. Sometimes they fool me telling, "you didn't tell me, must have been the other"! I often was left confused. Your poem has brought a smile to my face. Is your twin sister too as talented as you? How happy your growing up together must have been!

Haha sweet valsa, thats how we were too we used to fool our friends and teachers , was fun. Back then we had same hair color etc so was even harder for people to tell us apart.my twin sister is a singer and song writer and also is into business. She also writes poetry. But not metaphors she is more of a rhymer. My son calls her “ mummy two” as we are twins. Sort of inseparable. Thank you so very much for reading and also for leaving your experience with twin too. Its fun to read about .

IE, funny story you tell. Didn't know you have an identical twin. That must be fun. Hope you are both well. Twins make for a very interesting study of nature vs nurture.

Awwn, lol an amazing dodoitsu poem, with a twist of course! You and your sister are the most kind and beautiful twins, I can tell.. And with the storyline here, he definitely shouldn't have trusted his sight.. You write such witty writes, still with so much elegance and with a humor that still shimmers with poetic depth! Heart and soul are always the prominent rulers in 'love'.. beyond everything.. An enjoyable read ~ keep writing, sending many best wishes.

Lol Inky. Didn't know you were a twin. He definitely should have trusted his heart. I always say it's not the body or physical, it's the soul. Cheers.

Hi Inky! This is so full of whimsical delight and a bit of "twins" mischief. You expressed the situation so perfectly in your short lines. The picture is clear as sunlight through your well chosen words and images! My two best friends in college were both twins - not identical - but twins none the less. I thoroughly enjoyed your tale of misdirection and mischievous mistaken identity! Well done! Reminds me of Shakespeare's comedies. Blessings to you dear friend! Samzy.

Dear Empress, your story of mistaken identity and playful deception was very interesting. Growing up as twins must have been a whirlwind of shared experiences and mischievous moments. Your dodoitsu captures the humor and complexity of human relationships that sometimes love and attraction can lead us down unexpected paths. What a lighthearted yet thought-provoking tale. I enjoyed every single word. -Blessings, Daniel.

So sad that people can be just classified to someone as an object, it's the same as just blind lust in my opinion...good luck in the contest

Must be fun having a twin.. I always thought it would be interesting to have a twin as a gemini... I used to date a twin, but I could tell the difference between the two as one was always happy and smiling and the other one was grumpy and angry.... two opposites. but they did have this very powerful spiritual connection.. Best of luck in the contest dear..

The experience was probably a bit unbearable, yet also quite entertaining. Impressively crafted, with a truly exquisite feeling. Oh wow, it was your identical twin! He hugged me tightly, and we shared a rather awkward anecdote about our deepest longings...
