Best Spinal Column Poems

I have the rhythm of a winding road
how do I consign myself to being confined
rows of poplar pillars prop
the rendezvous canopy beneath we meet
—I self-cajole on ooh-la-la afternoon 

yellow eyes; daffodils watching 
lean into gossip groups nodding
a prodding breeze instigating deep-freeze
I am a sweet weed...

dolphins

grey ghosts surf the waves
 leaping up in laughing fun ~

According to A-Z Animals List, Dolphins are mammals and therefore animals who give live birth, have a spinal column, nurse their young and...

Sometimes to no avail
You struggle to be different
Like snowflakes you fall 
Believe you are vindicated, distinct and exclusive
With innovative design and crystallized mind
Attempting to impress everyone with the hand you have 
only we all have the same cards
Razor sharp edges and frosty images
We are slush...

Painting in my art studio is a relief to me 
My breathing changes the minute I sit in my chair. 
Facing a field of snow-covered woods, my body calms down 
Tenseness I did not consider all day is released into the vapor. 
Stress and anxiety...

Set up the hour glass to slowly time us

Put it on its side and make it endless 

Shake it up to add some minutes

Break the hour glass on the floor

Hear it shatter against the door

Watch the time fly out the window

Hear the grandfather clock start...

From base of spine to medulla
And then rising up to vibrant crown
Dipping down to glistening single eye
Over front enlivening throat and heart
Before grazing navel and sacral centres
The magnetic energy loop splits us vertically
As the higher aspect of self propels body form
Positioned along the spinal column,...

Look here, Tiger.
Back off,
or your tennis
balls might get caught.

In my own talons,
of course.

Stronger now
this rubbery
slope.

And I slip inside
my spinal column
to avoid your
spitfires.

My spinal column was extremely painful.
As a believer in bodily regeneration 
I had endured for long, hopeful
For a natural recuperation.

However, the condition kept getting worse.
Changing sides in bed waxed hard.
The back felt any sudden force
On the ribs if pushed outward.

It being then several weeks of...

In the valley there is a boat
I gloat at this discovery
And look for the crests
That shook my spinal column

It is the curls of dreams there
Pearls of turquoise delight
For which aspires everyone
While swimming in English channel

Thanks to the bliss in the current
In pink yellow and orange
Van...

I take a sip of pinkish liquid – White Zin.
Will I be able to drive home now?
The goblet seems much more fun than it should be.
I am horrified by her fullness. It shocks me. Too much liquor!

My brain screams at the young waiter, who is...

Where did go the amber gold ring
That my gaze met on that evening
Magnificent purple centre
From where in bliss dream moon blooming

Ah if I had now got it back
From the elusive gray time rack
For rush in my spinal column
Once more I could ride on horseback

As I...

Fantastical monsters. Real or imagined? No difference.
Gangster style, their grim gargoyle faces head straight toward me.
Served with a bit of terror, they surround me.
Devils? Demons? Anti-Christs? Does it matter?

Wicked and evil, they crawl up my body. 
I feel them on my back, ripping into my...

I enjoy lovely moments on bed
That bathe my soul in awesome dream
My eyes never go red 
For rising from bed is really a gleam

At early dawn
My eyes open gradually
When coming from holy ghost land
Where live seems beautiful 
Through my everyday canoe.

deadly college campus at night
only thing moving are leaves
pick up pace, skirt brushing my legs
feeling highly vulnerable
drop a Kleenex but keep walking
of course hypervigilant now
have they caught the rapist yet?
why on earth did I wear a short skirt?

kind of night you expect to be murdered
ebony...

we make these short notes
perhaps for a latter review
as a historical landscape 
marking events significant
as it happened within form
in definitively felt physicality
that our affirmation reassures
others along the same path
of the validation of this truth

around the autumn of 2018
our heart asked a question
asking why we choose...
