Best Elan Poems

ELAN VITAL

A political change is needed today.
A new form of government to disallow pluralism.
Something that controls structure when the need arises.
A formula that states what is known is our rite.
Militant Communism is the idiom found.
A strengthen home front and a mind defined.
That one that states...

The bullish sun sat on your avant-garde tree
Growing on the baroque  poems of your dancing knee
The dilettante attributed it to the icy ennui
As elan had been in a holiday spree
I was very happy at the warm anomaly
It was indeed a deja vu for me
Amidst...

Every morning I wake up
I feel my day adore –
Anew rays of first light
Afresh my mind, cleansed soul – 
A new beginning to endure. 

Yester memoir enclosed agone
Today to face more  –
A whole day unrevealed
Fostered withal by elation. 

Walked my way 
With anew hope
Destiny...

elan vital

The elan vital in man or beast,
the noble spirit we see the least,
where hoarding dollars, makes IT glad?
Where persecution makes IT sad,
UNPRINCIPLED Vultures feast,
 Nobility comes with a decent IT,
spiritual heights above the abyss,
a fall into darkness, aint the way,
be nice to 1 another...

corn and flower cane grow,

where the soft white downy
of cotton amplifies in big fields,
and bed my body and soul on
the waves of cotton balls,

and in natural surrender my 
élan vital to feel the virginal of...

élan vital
David J walker

Everything is hungry 
Every single thing alive 
Shall survive at the expense of
Some poor enhungered something else 
That has learned to thrive in it’s 
Own peculiar environment 
The élan vital has turned even the 
Blades of grass into clever predators and hunters
Capturing...

Diverse like each poet and the lives that they live
are the poetry forms in which they choose to write.
It isn’t important if some want to give
a set meter with rhyme, while some give insight
through verse that is free. There is no wrong or right!

Structured verse...

His parents’ assignment of his gender left him cold
Inside he was Elan, not Elsa, but how dare he tell them?
Their approval meant everything; so he kept his secrets.
Making him icy, frosty, showing him a wind chill of two below.

Others wondered why Elsa was not lively...

gripping the shards of memories
ignoring the bloodied emotions
why do we torture ourselves 
with that which we cannot change
 
these evocations
vivid
disturbing
invisible to others
but our élan spotlit
driven
instituting mostly patronising
eleemosynary projects
 
perfect recall
subject to
experiences dictated by
accident of birth
the authenticity of memoirs
tenaciously defended
but ravaged by
subliminal influences
a testimony to its...
