Twists Poems

                Senryu 1

Road bends, turns, and twists,
We stumble, then stand up tall,
New horizons wait.

Simple Twists of Draconian State

OK, maybe you see a similarity in rhyme scheme to a certain Bob Dylan song (lol). 

Put me in a prison cell.
Go ahead, sentence me to Hell.
Squash whoever might rebel.
You decide what's right.
After all, you've got the might.
There is no debate
in a twisted, draconian state. 

Will I have any friends,
a job, or the means and ends?
If I say

The Destiny

Sometimes, the right people meet at the wrong time. 
Other times, the wrong people collide at the right moment. 
And then there are those rare instances where the right people meet at the right time.
But fate has other plans, putting their love to the test.
Ultimately, it's how they respond to these twists and turns that

Portal Of Life

I navigate through the portal of life 
Walk past the corridors 
Where light and shadows play
Welcoming each twist and turn
Accepting the ups and downs
Guiding my path to my destiny
Facing life's storms
With fortitude and resilience 
Crafting me into who I am  
The echoes of the past 
Reverberates across the hallway
Where the past and present meet

Metaphoric Plot Twists

Oh poetry is easy? 
Tried now you’ve got anxiety; 
Credit us as artists;
With metaphoric plot twists
we can transform reality.

Twists and Turns

Twists and Turns..
The story finds
Already This
Appearing as that..
Amazing..but
Me may re-enter
Jump on stage
Desperate to find
Unfindable This..
The saving grace:
Desperation too is
Already This...??

Twists and Turns

Life's twists and turns like the wheels of mystery 
Sometimes it is bliss, sometimes it's misery 
Sometimes it is crest, sometimes it is trough 
Sometimes it is false, sometimes it is true 

Sometimes it is white, sometimes it is black 
Sometimes it is tight, sometimes it is slack 
Sometimes it is red, sometimes it is

Life's Twists and Turns

At the tender age of twenty-three
    Carl took his leave of family

  He'd put his stock in friends, he said
    One year later, happily wed

  Life was easy, an ocean breeze
    His siblings, Carl loved to tease

  Mocking their holiday get-togethers
  

Plot Twists

Most of the time, it seems
Plans change, plots twist
Dreams replace dreams
Hopes are swapped for hopes
Visions, wishes, desires
Metamorphose from one to another

We don’t always see it coming
But the change arrives on gentle
Whispers of moonlight and stardust
Winding through the paths of 
Lightening bolt promises, echoing
Wonder that fades from the shadows
Of a kind and caring spirit
Who knows that

Skip Around Twists and Turns

Skip around twists and turns in life,
like only a dancer
forever in music is lost.
With grace God adorns her.

Her passage marks my soul
with fineness, like old gold
makes an adornment whole.

Scorn the risks; scorn the storms,
skip around twists and turns.

Midwest Twists

We accept tornadoes here,
expect them, tick them off
as they pass by like demon dreidels.
Usually they are not a big deal
unless they are.
Spring culls its little lambs
in all sorts of ways.

The murder rate in Chicago
climbs ever higher
until the city prays for more snow.
Folks in their privileged trailer parks
get rolled like dice.

A pressing need for body bags
creates

The Twists and Turns of Life

Being adopted at 6 weeks I was gone
to live in countryside brought much joy
there I was free to fill me with fresh air
pre-school was great just as a little boy

But school came to hate each day
so glad to reach 15 to get away
suffered stammer so stopped me on track
socially unable, so shy and reserve I

Love Twists, Torments

Love twists and torments the fragile young mind.
Nothing seems to help heal it, not even time.
That’s why never again, you’ll trust someone.
No matter what they say, what’s done is done.
    The mark has been placed, it shall not part.
    It’s left a deep scar, upon your heart.
  

A Witch Flits and Twists Through the Indigo Mist

A well-worn witch flits and twists through the indigo mist.
Gloating in genius, I look at my well-read list.
Bats shaken out of their sleep, come out to dive bomb.
I toast them with my dragon breath, singing a psalm.

The witch gives me a shake of her dirty little fist.
She makes me happy with her anger. I tie

Romantic Twists

One thing they ask ask and ask
They ask and answer stays puzzle
Every lip's tip remain no drizzle
That people's sake past hippos
The laughter and lovely rattling
Under the rivulet chants and pants
Say whatever goes around-
And applause of comes around.

Initial romantic turns run-
leaving the living question restrained
For the tickle stimulated laughter
And pampers of baby and baby
Promising heaven in
