Best Twice Poems

Think twice this world can be such a wicked place my sweet child.
It's all coming back to me now, the memories we shared.
Goodbyes the saddest word, be careful in a world so wild.
You used to tell me I'm your angel and how much you cared.

It's...

I once was one twenty, now I’m two fifty three
I’m twice the man that I used to be
I gave up smoking because they said it lacked taste
Now I can’t see my feet because of my waist
The doctor said my lifestyle might kill me
I said I’d...

If you think one time, you'll make a step
Think twice, you'll make big step
Think thrice, you'll probably never make any...

At lunch, I wanted a simple iced tea
But a tea with ice was not meant to be
The glass, smoothly tall
Held no cubes at all
Where all my ice went, was a mystery!

The waitress (who was not very nice)
Lectured, my request was imprecise
You must specify
For ice to...

Shall I Twice Pluck Thy Soft, Sweet Fruit

Should I court thee as moth to flame
sky to its wondrous blue?
Some say, love is but a fool's game
Aye, we both know untrue.

Shall I twice pluck thy soft, sweet fruit
be it with soft touch?
In such, will our love...

A TWICE REFORMED CLOWN
There is an eerie silence,
 In the Big Top,
Not a sound is heard,
A heart beat could stop,
A hush envelops one,
And all,
Only the Ringmaster,
Whistles a call.
Suddenly with splendor,
And gust,
In burst the entertainers,
With such lust,
Everyone’s in the mood 
For laughter,
But is the clown that
Comes...

He dialed his home number from his cell,
it rang twice,
a man’s voice answered as far as he could tell,
he hung up without answering back,
in his mind, everything went dark, and suddenly black,
when he got home,
he was all alone,
there was no sign of a man anywhere,

I never felt the arrow, as cupid loosed his bow

But he must have shot me twice,

For I love her so.

Take a breath just pretend to light a cigarette
Mind your every thought so that you'll not regret
Avoid a tactless comment that might go south
Remember ~ a fly does not enter a closed mouth

The

presence of a true friend in one's life
 
seems to give him the chance to live 

twice!

Not without blood…
and water’s flood


As stained water surged…
released an old man’s urge

By stained water surge…
the urge is purged…
and new men emerge
==============
The riddle of life reveals itself once one 
learns that things pertaining to truth’s reality have
two applications; one is the beginning the other is 
the...

Twice daily,even once will do
if you want I can do thrice too,

to my wish to write more haiku!

memories flow through me
like an open wound the blood trails
following a painful path twice walked

why is it so easy to remember the sadness
as if a welcomed choice once here repeating
the savage stabbing within ones heart

surely the goodness and comforted smiles
of a time long ago should...

A gentile man of vivid dreams oft apt to walk at night
Followed where his feet would lead under the pale moon light
When chance he did into a grove of oak and alder trees
He spied a pool of nature's own fed by an ancient spring
There upon...
