Keep Moving Toward A Perfect Union Poem by Almedia Knight-Oliver

Keep Moving Toward A Perfect Union

Rating: 5.0


Twin girls
Aquatic pair.
Strangers.
Swimming
Side-by-side
Sipping sap.
Doubles
No yolks...no chick
Cherry portion
Belly to belly

School and home they
Talk and play. Freedom
Separates them in-two-way
Mom knew XX were
From XY…asking not why?
Cords snipped,
doc slapped, towled
and wiped.

Separated,

Each.

Each.

Friends

Each holding
up her end

After a little chat with Kamille one of the twins, later, she ask me to
Write about what we’d talked about. Here to you: Kamille, and your twin Kayla:
Nine months you shared the same little
Embryonic pond nourishing the same sweet sap
Not once did you fight…so why now?

Love.
Grams

A delightful poem about the twins. They may be harsh to each other now but twins can never stay mad long. May God bless them both. Your friend Lynn

i guess it was like that. being a twin myself i always had someone to play with and i never had to finish what i was saying because he already knew. as for their differences only they know root of the conflict. nicely written

Beautiful subject to write. Unseparated embryo we all in the womb of universe but we quarrel and dominate and kill each other. Asking not Why? So many theories are peeping through this poem, better try to praise you simply. Its a great work and poet herself also know it at the time after reediting the writing. Simply beautiful is my last utterance for this one. Write more...more.... Regards, 10+ pranab
