Best Twisting Poems

Twisting the dancer spins into the mist of the night, to his very own tune 
This unearthly spectra gracefully dances, only lit by the light of the moon

Softly his leather clad shoes play skillfully onto the moisten moss beneath 
Night animals, stop to stare at...

Limerick : Once a tongue-twisting Pop Man-Eater

Once a tongue-twisting Pop Man-Eater
Went on rampage with just her Strummer
Tunes she hissed were so sweet
Crunched Frenchmen by the fleet
Watch Out ! ‘Merica ! for this Nor’-Easter !

Life moving on such strong axioms
Geometrically and balanced on pure mathematical planes
Between Charybdis and Silla yet still fighting Zeus 
As men this our acceptance to gently take...

Johnny spent all his time hustling
Finally found himself in the lap of luxury
All the cash he had
Was so damn comforting
That somehow the clown
Had begun to think
That there was nothing he
Could do
That could bring him back to 
That struggle he,
Knew well
But not well enought to keep
It...

"The discrepancies are many, the dalliances are few,
both pitched against one dynamic, lifelong achievement"

Poking through the woods of the Mill Grove Audubon Estate,
suddenly came upon an ivy-covered studio shed
tucked away amongst foliage near Perkiomen Creek,
apparently some artist's hidden haven, lost in time.

Passing through this rickety...

The Twisted Mind
It behoves you well to delve in the twists and turns of my mind
As my thoughts undulate through the passages before the truth you find
Do the Tarantula March and dance well through the space
Where processing thoughts and words mingle, dancing with such grace…

O' twisting twines
and vile vines
That which binds
Our alike minds

The poison is potent
Perhaps an evil quotient
Darkness bleeds
Where chaos seeds

Around each arm
It has done much harm
Blood drizzles
And hatred sizzles

O' twisting twines
and vile vines
That which binds
Our alike...

hearing third shift would be dreadful
at first she was slow
bending the dough
twisting all night to make perfect pretzels.

takes the title, "Tatiana" they shouted.

Why do you always
Twist the words I say
When I mean black
I don’t mean pink
When I mean great
I don’t mean lousy
It’s exasperating
The effort it takes to
Redress your interpretation
Of my every single word
Are you testing my patience
Trying to get under my skin
It’s just a game to you
Robbing...

Boat yard lights disguise,
Twisting sinews of the tide.
Surging waters rush.
Moon-pulled flow, fierce undertow,
Stole my love to depths below....

mountain highways twist and bend

Those were the days my friend, how blessed we were
Although, in past quandam days, knew it not.
Home to us was warm and dry, sound and safe.

Not called on to fight, we had years to play,
Free of conscripted combat ~ with time to kill;
Time to learn,...
