Best Identical Poems

"Identical Rhyme"
by:  Eric L. Boddie

In the country, hogs eat slop
In the city, women like to shop
And really, where do stereotypes stop

Where do the lie and the Truth clash
Why must only just a few control all the cash
And why do some inquiries have to appear...

We grew up listening to the same conversations
We were introduced to the same ideas, and ideals
Our background was absolute and firm. Christianity is the only way
Daddy did not agree, but Mom ruled us twins and our world

We both married young, my sister settled in a...

Identical Twins



Time is passing
Life is fleeting
We will all be memories
Some day

We bid them farewell
Those we have known
With no compensation
For broken hearts

Each life has known us
Though we are strangers
Your eyes are so similar
To those I loved

But you are leaving
As I am expiring
We are remembering
The faces lost

Trixie and Blixie were identical twins.
Darling little girls.
Hazel eyes. 
Big puffy shoulders.
Magical pearl-laden dresses, made by their mother, who was a wonderful seamstress.
People on the street would stop her.
“They are so cute!” they would say.
“Do they speak?” 
“Are they exactly alike?”
This banter delighted Blixie.
Almost as...

I thought she was insane
I think my world is about to
I thought she was full of her self
I think the world insists
I thought she was villain
I think she was too hurt, so she rebelled
I thought she mumbled nonsense
I think she preserves her peace
I thought she...

Every Religons Identical...

Humans using lies to create principles...

And inflict cynical acts...

Like having a preclinical past...

These individuals mask....

The syntripical math...

Changing compounds...

Near swomp Grounds....

You stomp down...

And ask for Freedom....

In this Cancer Region...

This is the Actor Legion...

Where even the Pastor's Bleedin...

Identical twins, they have a crisis
Look-alikes, neither is known for niceness,
Terry writes his poems
While his brother ho-hums,
And neither one has joined up with Isis.

Similar if not identical to last year...   
umpteenth heat wave since onset of summer...
sizzles Delaware Valley today August 26th, 2022

Said geographical area composed of counties
located in Southeastern Pennsylvania,
South Jersey, Delaware, and
Eastern Shore of Maryland.

Are you identical twins? The school teacher asked.
I am not impressed, slightly stuplified and aghast.
They are boy and girl twins, you idiot I want to say.
But I have used up all of my insult quota until next Wednesday....

Two identical twin sisters, Mary and Sue
  Wiggled their way to maturity
     As twin sisters often do

Passed notes in K-5, then their
  Grades took a dive, in high school
    Which they slept through

God can't save me
Shackles and chains
Clouds consume my brain
Who holds my identical voodoo doll?
A santanist? A masochist?
They know my thoughts
They can read the way I feel
They enjoy my pain because they know it's real
They've sewn my mouth shut and ripped out my stuffing
They've cut out...

twins
labelled
misleading
identical
different ideas
diverse ideals
yes they live in the  same house
they do not have the same sister
a liberal and a Republican
no two people are exactly alike...

Being an identical twin means you do not have a name
For the first eighteen years of your life but keep your happy heart. 
You are called “Hey, you, Twin!” or “Stone Twin!”
Except by your friends who are amazing and can tell you apart.

I could not...

My identical twin sister came to school with me once
Many moons ago.
We wore the same clothes, and the same socks and the same shoes.
Only our underwear was different.
I had her walk through the cafeteria, then I joined her.
This made quite a stir.
One hundred and eighty-four...

There go the Brown twins, the Brown twins.
Hey, Brown twin, want a ride?
Hey, Brown twin, how does it feel to see double?
He, Brown twin, do you chew Double Mint gum?

At first as a twin, you are a novelty.
You either like the attention or despise it.
I...
