Best Alike Poems

Most now have faith in scientific fact,
And so accept a snowflake lacks a twin.
This maxim states what no man can exact,
For proof is matching endless crystalline--
Which nature shapes according to her law
Though some insist they all appear the same--
Hard ignorance promotes this blissful flaw,
Hard evidence...

never are two alike.

wafting to and fro with gentle breeze,
a dancing ballerina the twirling flake, 
motion with vicissitude it sings,
the vapor, the crystal performs.

in costume white appears its shape,
dendrite, needle, plates, and branches,

(Villonnet)

Like jelly beans displayed in crystal bowls
presented with a flair for make believe,
we don costumes in vogue of yesteryear
for come this night, we nourish hungry souls.

Our parts are scripted on the printed scrolls
we voice before a thirsty crowd to grant
escape into a fantasy of wealth,

Love,
Hate,
Tears come from both,
You needed love to get hate,
Hate comes from love,
Mothers love their children and hate their bad friends,

I reckon a vast symmetry
between sunset and darkness...
when shadows obscure the starriest scenery,
and clothe trees in tenebrous mystery:
I turn my glace to the full moon in distress! 

Never disappear from my sight, moonlight;
ask the north wind to make shadows vanish:
letting the cool breeze return to...

My eyes and heart are falling alike so 
The stars tonight may even fall like leaves
Sprinkles of raindrops are falling
The sunset fell and darkness falls 
A waterfall falls so sparkling t'was clear
Petals off a rose bush dramatically fall
Feathers fall from a bird ready to fly
The sun watches...

The wind has yet to blow 
two feathers along the same path 
or tassel twin snowflakes to the ground 
Nor will the wind ever see 
similarity 
in all the clouds it pushes around 
The same applies to the twin-less waves 
it's carried 
and yet to...

During an early stroll, did you notice a bird leaving his nest
in search of his pretty mate? But he will not wander off
more than a mile, if the first raindrop lands on his crest;
morning after morning...he'll take another flight over the cliff
chirping, " No season...

Regaining the gall to forge on with vigor
Which seeks clarity from past misgivings, 
Rumbles escalate through mimicry's barbed language
Amid  the hole of evening…And to have known
This quarrel, these twin voices muttering
With such power he never imagined…until he
Choked  their loud acts, their vicious grandstanding
That...

There's never been two snowflakes alike
Whoever came up with this one can go fly a kite
Of the trillions since
Saw at least a couple of twins
With these astronomical odds, a few might see the light...
