Double Entendre

Often
words that
condemn
offer salvation

Their
juxtaposition
the blink
of an eye

What starts
to indict
turns into
redemption

The turn
of a phrase
their meaning
— belies

Double Entendre


Her spelling could be faulty
and confusing, even naughty.
To her mother she wrote:
“I took a course in physics this year.
It was hard at first, I admit,
but with effort, I passed it.”

Don't Croak

There once was a cocky male frog
Who met a cute toad on a log
She thought he said “Ribbit”
In fact, he said “Rub it”
Now he’s belly-up in the bog.

Double Entendre

Our eyes met across the marquee and I noticed her lovely pair.
The owner was a pretty girl with a shock of auburn hair.
But my eyes could only see two things the objects of my desire,
and they quickly caused a spark inside which built to a raging fire.

I couldn't wait to get up close and touch

Five Long Years--Of Double Entendre

My heart has Conditions
It moved off my sleeve--
Five* years ago:
I planned their itinerary

I slept under the sun
Then, Masqueraded in the moonlight--
Just four* years passed:
I stumbled into a sea of aluminum and glass

To be Anaheim's captive
I frequently danced with death--
As if with three* more years to live:
I ardently searched for death's cousin

I awoke in sweet sunlight

Double-Entendre

double-entendre
double-meaning 
insinuations
full of suggestive 
vagueness

of a future together as one 
within a land of make believe

Double Entendre

Does it really have to rhyme?
I'm not entirely sure
It simply takes me so much Thyme
Like it's a herbal cure

Perhaps it is to make you laugh
Is merely what is kneeded
Like dough and other moulding stuff
No creativity impeded

Double Entendre

What is it you've said when
you never said that at all
and why did it read between the lines
you're dead and never written?

I'm confused.
I thought you were being used
to channel heaven-sent the scent of mystery
yet here I see upon the scene
the angels are abused.

Tell me I'm not in trouble
with all this double mumbo jumble
means of a
