Pat Adams Poet Quatrain

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!

Michelle Faulkner September 6, 2018 at 1:18 PM "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! Pat Adams September 6, 2018 at 4:15 PM 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)
