Twister (Based On A True Story, Somewhere Just North Of Nashville) Poem by Steve Bierman

Twister (Based On A True Story, Somewhere Just North Of Nashville)

Rating: 5.0


A tornado is always news
especially when it whirls through
a poultry farm
and hurls a hundred thousand hens
at heaven

Film at eleven

But the real story is Bunny's
shock and apostasy
on seeing Harry, her lifelong love,
succumb

'Look, Bunny, look! '
he wheezed
pale and passing
as heaven rained
the plucked and mangled chickens
on their porch

Only a twisted Lord
could have found it funny
poor Harry...poor Bunny

And hats off for the hens
