'Twinkle' is one of those words
that fills you with joy as a child,
evoking thoughts of great ventures
where you could be free and be wild.
For adults though twinkling's more suspect
as in the eye it can mean much;
it could express laughter or fear
or joy that you're here
or advertise a violent crutch.
So if you see twinkling this Christmas
get out before you're left alone
with presents and cheer
and ten cans of beer
and an uncle that you hardly know.

Great write
WELCOME FRIEND ~ Thanks for sharing your first poem. Words are always interesting as to heir origin and subtle change of meaning with the passage of time. GAY is a prime example ~ and (as you indicate in your poem ) so is TWINKLE ! I avoided Uncles when they were drunk ~ One of them wanted to show me his TRUNK ! He was referred to as "The Elephant Man". Please check my Poems ~ BRIAN (UK)
