Best Bendable Poems

In a world of opinions and plastic,
answers to questions become bendable ..
Stretching every which way, when elastic
We have Barbie and Ken, that are able

In a world of, all for me, some for you
Stretching in all ways, being elastic ..
Barbie says this, Ken has a point...

It is my mother’s birthday today.
She is 87.
87 and weighs 121 pounds.
121 pounds of ridiculous energy
She holds exercise classes
For the 90 year olds in her
Apartment buildings
Her students are 91 and 97
They are probably lying on their
Backs right now with their legs in the air doing
Bicycle...

If I was part machine, a steampunk woman, or a steampunk dog, or a steampunk cat,
I would choose to have a machine heart, so I could be less soft. 
So my feelings would not get hurt so easily, so I could
Stop crying inside when people...

Harvest of Mind
               by Odin Roark

Acres of mirrors
Reflecting yesterdays upon today
Refracting wisdom’s tundra of experience
Into regret's abstract lessons.

How flexible
This mind of bendable energy,
Linking limbotic senses
Into a synaptic playground
Where one’s child-like recess...

Bond between us

I wish i could explain it
But everytime i try to i just go blank
Its not that i cant but everytime I try to explain I run out of words
Its a connection if you may call it
Its magical if you may say think about...

As I flash through the books and screens,
The plots take me to new terrains.
I experience a world beyond the reality,
where every image might as well be a fantasy.

I see visuals within my peripherals.
Can it be a hallucination?
Could it be more than a daydream?
Or am I...

I woke up forlorn and hollow inside of me
oh yes I was pretty darn melancholy
I was funky blue and my glass was totally empty
wanted to curl up into nothingness . . . 

I took my dismal self to the bathroom
looking in the mirror I hated...

You're as bright as Education
Straight but bendable
You think with backup
You can recycle and retrieve memories
You define bravery
And your emotions speak
Your desire is classic deliverance
For you swim in deserts
And plant wisdom fruits
You climb space and find impossibilities
As you massage thousand of hearts.
You're a folded situation
With an...

Strength of a Queen

As Queen Ann’s Lace sets in the field, 
It reigns with great power among other florals
Wearing a crown centered and pronged 
Beautiful lace falls all around.

It graces the others in a bouquet
And sturdy its stem must cut and not fray
Wire like strands...

(alternately titled: idolizing childhood's end
today April 25th, 2021
generates elusive warm treasured memories).

Akin to significance my eldest sister
felt toward her “Willies” –
(totally tubular fuzzy bendable contrivances
analogous to an outsize pipe cleaner)
until she became a tweener
my Matty Mattel Doll (circa mid 1960's) 
meant the webbed wide world...

Hope resounds through my soul pockets as I hear Stairway to Heaven
There is more than one road to get there, the paths pliable like a willow
It is okay to reach for all that glitters, but even the songbird understands
Things change in a blink, so there...

One of the resourceful books unbeatable;
Children’s love, care and comfort biddable
Is none better than Reader’s Digest – capable.
Articles, reports, jokes and anecdotes audible;
All are present in it; all are undoubtable.
Changing the mindset of students capable
Is a new, systematic thing coachable.
Changing the world and its cannibal
Into...

My flexibility has been recorded by practically no one
Yet it is my greatest, most brilliant, terrific superpower.
I have moved thirty-seven times, and have had twenty-eight jobs.
Along for the ride were three daughters and a zoo of animals.
My husband used to come in and say “pack...

Remember the days of Barbie Dolls that didn’t have bendable legs?  Remember the high bouncing, “Superballs”?  The small ones were the best for playing jacks; boy could I scoop them up before that ball came down.  I loved my Slinky, “Silly Putty”...

My product's diurnal, nocturnal,
       Forever and aye, Eternal.

     Rarer than a diamond coin,
       Yet impossible to purloin.

     Bendable, but won't break,
