Twists and Turns

You turn an age it dawns on you This twist you've taken, you must stop You turn in a new direction But by a twist of fate you flop! If you turn that which is anchored Then that turn becomes a twist So now with this new twisted turn You wonder of, what was dismissed! Turn up, turn down, or twist around Turns and twists are everywhere Do you know where you might have been, If all those twists and turns weren't there? So twist the wheel of fate around For your next turn, give it a spin Which ever way that you might twist It turns to where, it should have been!

"C'mon baby, let's do the twist," that's a little before my time, but it's all I kept thinking as I read this; I like the ending stanza about 'wheel of fate, turns to where it should have been,' very cool!

Thank you Michelle. I heard the phrase twists and turns, as I have a million times before but it suddenly sparked inspiration for a poem. Go figure!.......80)

Hello Pat … you have presented the twists and turns in life well here, and of course only history tells which is right or wrong - thank you Pat - Lindsay
