Double Meaning

The splinter of a broken mirror
can show part of my face
and the world in which I survive.

The rest I can imagine
or maybe ... turn it into a dream.


A Funny One Liner In a Rude Idiom

Caught between two stools poor grandma's toilet paper
Not for the Contest(Idiom with a double meaning: ) Inspired by SilentOne's One liner contest

Replenish

Replenish* my heart 
with unquenchable coals.
Make it burn so hot
So I'm unable to control
The fire burning from deep in my soul.

When it seems to die
I ask You to try
And replenish* my heart
With unquenchable coals.

Note*: the word replenish has a double meaning. "To fill" and to "refill."

Double-Entendre

double-entendre
double-meaning 
insinuations
full of suggestive 
vagueness
scattered ambiguity 
sprinkled through out 
obscurity of inconclusiveness
of train of thought 
creating the lore of lies 
of a future together as one 
within a land of make believe
that one is trying to create within 
the mind
Form: Lyric

beverage

Twist off the cap
Lay it in your lap
I'm your favourite beverage
Take a sip of your leverage
I give catering a double meaning
Leave the flavours of my heart overweening

Soft or alcoholic
Was your love for me hyperbolic
Do I leave you dreary in the streets
Every step your awareness depletes
Or do you look forward to tasting me again
No longer a recipient of your disdain

Palms

I trace the little rivulets
That, by the year, expand
That I may follow in their course
My life through my hands

That I hold a lifelong snowflake dear
That I might understand
The hardships of their rugged task
No others could have manned

Take pride in these graceful tools
That work the clay and sand
Wrinkle the old leaves folded in prayer
And the rivers dry up from the land.

Personal Preference

I must maintain I much prefer poems which do amuse yet elucidate with alliteration plus a fun pun to enlighten and or educate double meaning yes indeed metaphorically speaking a clever endeavour is all I need for word-play tweaking and no quibbling I refrain from reading stream of consciousness scribbling with neither rhyme nor reason a smattering of words dribbling altho' meaningless all the rage scattering in wobbly lines Pollock-like across the page
