When I turn a phrase,
it turns me on
to turn you around
if you do a good turn.
It turns me red
to turn inside out,
then have you turn your back
in a turn for the worst.
You turn me off
when you take my turn
and turn what I've said
upside down.
I prefer you listen in turn,
turn your key and unlock,
try turning a corner,
or turn over a rock.
I've one turn today,
don't turn white as a sheet!
I can't turn back the clock,
so I'll turn up the heat.
excellent play on words here! and the message is crystal clear.
ReplyDeleteAll that turning makes me dizzy. I'll tun over a new leaf then hide 'neath it to stop all the turning.
ReplyDeleteWonderful. Just wonderful. I felt myself turning with each new angle. I loved this piece! Welcome back to your blog! How was Philly? The cheesesteaks as good as you remembered? :)
ReplyDeleteLove it! This was fun and thought-provoking at the same time.
ReplyDeleteThis one is a lot of fun to follow, and witty. Welcome back! Are you reading Thursday night?
ReplyDeleteHi, all. Good to be back. Chris, I will be reading 2 new poems, but not the first featured reader at Poet's Night Out 3rd Thursday. I traded because this March is madness..... I read in May in A-town.
