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!

Bruce Lee and The God of War: Kuan Ti
It starts with love.. The Power to the God Of War and Wealth Walk into a Chinese restaurant (even in Oklahoma, USA), a Chinese police station, a kung fu martial arts studio or even a Chinese temple and you often see a red faced warrior holding a heavy quan-do (spear like weapon).

Lol, so much to love here!! The double meanings, the acrostic, the subtleties, all blended so well together. Wonderful work, Christy!!
A rather tasty acrostic : )
You had me at the title!
Whoaaaa, not only did you write an acrostic where each line starts with an unscrambled word but you made it rhyme too! So well done! Also, not me thinking of inappropriate when I saw double fisted 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
love the rhythm!!!
I'm never going to top that. I love it that you decided to ramp up the difficulty of an already difficult challenge with a 12 letter word acrostic. AND IT FLOWS! Good grief!
Love the Acrostic, wonderful poem, great work
