Reading Olympics: Found poetry

Wow!  Check some of this action out!  In no particular order...

"Take the twist
Red twist of these tarts
Fluffy love
But sour hearts"--B.B.

"A winter solstice
Sweet, cold and fresh like champagne
All is silver ice."--B.D.

Warning bless the abundant
love.  Open the long lasting silver star
that you loved from afar.  On the tree
top you mix and match your feelings
up ahead you see the limit."--Z.H.

"Wink in the mirror
Drying crops of spring
Put on your breaks
and explore abundant love."--B.B.

"my army progresses to cut down the green pastures of the oppressors that make the earth to quake in a total disaster"--C.H.

"Speed limit 35
children crossing
Gas station to my right
I still be on Alston"--C.J.

"I'm in love with a beautiful
dove who flies right above
but I'm trying to be kind
but I'm lost in my mind"--K.M.

"Air fresheners smelling sweet
but they got nothing on me
'cuz I'm fresh as Crest breath is
sit back and watch me
wreck, smack Satan with
lettuce, but the Hell is upon us
but this can only go from bad
to worse, while we shining like diamonds
y'all just penny cash, and yes sir I'm quite
bizarre, but I'm like a quasar"--B.H.

And for those of you wondering what the Romulus and Remus I was on about with the translation challenge yesterday...  Here is both the Latin and English:
Hoc mane                                                       This morning
Spectavi corvos duos                                      I saw two ravens
et eorum inqui:                                                And I asked of them:
"Avete corvi!  Meministine                              "Hail ravens!  Do you remember
Alter Idus, quem manducaverunt                     Another Ides, when you feasted
Bene?"                                                           Well?"
Nec responsaverut,                                        And they did not respond,
Sed ansers canadorum                                   But Canadian geese
A me inquit:                                                   Said to me:
"HANC!!!"                                                    "HONK!!!"
