Double Fisted
'Unscramble' Challenge
This acrostic poem, Double Fisted, is written as my entry in Heather Hubler's 'Unscramble' Challenge. I found this prompt so inspired and inspiring, I ran with the 12-letter word 'ambidextrous.'
--
Able bodies bend and twist
Mindful that they must resist
Biting more than mouths can chew
In fear of living fat as ewe
Defined by little else than weight
Expecting fools to ruminate
Xyster used to carve to bone
Taking to the porcelain thrown
Reclaim your self, two able hands
Open mouths, lest ye be damned
Usurp the judge who keeps you down
Sup with both hands, take back your crown
--
Gluttonous sin -- a taste for lust?
Heaven is ambidextrous!
