Sandra Hudson Poet Free verse

Zig-Zag

Reverse this polarity, my hormonal engine
Playing my body like a baby grand
Rough and rugged, Jerry Lee Lewis
Succumbs to Louis Armstrong in Platinum
Blues verses boogy woogy
An invariable blender, shaken not stirred
Keeping me up nights
Tapping my toes to the teardrops


entered for consideration in MJ's contest, "Let's get untwisted"

Carolyn Devonshire May 1, 2009 at 6:10 PM This is awesome, Alexandra! Such a clever take on "Let's get untwisted"! The bipolar interpretation, especially comparing Jerry Lee Lewis to Louis Armtrong, is brilliant! I'm leaving early tomorrow to go deep sea fishing for a few days. I'll write when I get back. I do think you have a winner here! Love to you, dear.
