Twins Poems

Premium MemberThe Separate Leaves

The clock, a low and humming, silent thing,
Stands guard upon the desk. The house is still.
A single streak of moonlight seems to bring 
A dusty silver to the windowsill.
We lie on separate beds, a silent space
That feels a hundred miles, or none at all.
Two mirrored shapes, with shadows on each face,
Held by the same deep

Premium MemberLife After Delivery: A Tale of Twins

Twin babies float in their mother’s womb
growing strong they'll  be delivered soon
communicating to each other in their way
 experiencing so much, and much to say

Twin one said, shaking his head,” we are getting old…
and soon we'll be delivered as foretold.
Do you think brother, there will be more?
A life after delivery on that far shore?”

Twin

Premium MemberFantasy - Imagination Are Twins

"Fantasy ~ Imagination Are Twins. Having a fun time playing together in our dreams." By Poet

As I look into last night's  "Dream,"
I see a  "Visualization" downstream.
I see a huge bear and cubs dressed in lace of red and cream,
that is a crazy color scheme.
Is my  "Imagination" going up in steam?
The bears looked

Gemini

'To Womb it may concern,'
tho' not quite the norm,
the gyno's form letter read,
'I am pleased to inform
you are not about to have a baby,
but instead,
in brief,
double your pleasure
double your fun,
it may be a relief,
so with no further ado,
not keeping mum
nor holding you on needles and pins,
with two for the price of one,
Madame, you are expecting

Premium MemberFire and Ice Twins

A poet asked a question, nicely,
better to die in fire - or in icely?
But what about the sun or moonly?
What if they should die too soonly?
The sun and moon, up there spinning,
engaged, they are, celestial twinning, 
their sizes in the sky, the saming, 
ice and fire twins, freezing, flaming.

Premium MemberChasing the Twins of Hoes

Out of grandma’s garden popped the onion twins of Hoes
They ran around wildly, stomping down her neat rows
Stop! She screamed, but they did not understand her word
Thinking toddlers understand adult talk is kind of absurd

East River Esplanade

We emerged from Grand Central Station, 
Both ill, alarmed at our situation
Like two invaders, erupting forth
My twin went south, and I went North
I jaywalked reckless nearly hit by a car.
Then saw a bridge over the FDR

I wondered what price would be paid 
On autopilot, I came on to the Esplanade
The pavement was wide, hexagonal tiled
The

    A healthy body, a sound mind

        these twins can overturn

Premium Membercouple as close as cojoined twins

Mr and Mrs Lattimore are not unlike conjoined twins
they go everywhere together
store, movie, restaurant, doctor’s, dentist,
it is as if they share a spinal column or a breast plate

prior to marriage they had separate names
separate lives
separate friends
separate relatives

they might as well sell their second car
it has not been used since their wedding twelve years ago
one of

What will the twins think of Harvey

The twins will soon be here, 
And Harvey will have two more cousins,
That much is clear,
But what will they make of Harvey,
When he comes to welcome them at their new home.

Will they think he is big or small,
Will they think he is happy or sad.
Will they think it funny when he holds his nose and

Premium MemberYou Twins Have Never Looked Better

You twins have never looked better, said with contention.
Fred and Ted, dressed in tutus, trying for attention.
Their mother was the only one slightly a teensy bit amused.
Their homophobic father exploded, setting off his brain fuse.
