Corpore Poems | Examples


Premium Member Common Sense Then and Now

    ‘Mens sane in corpore sano’
      “A sound mind in a healthy body”

     A phrase once fit for the Emperor of Rome
       In America today, the saying hits home

Expectations

I want to be synthesis,
be thesis...
I want to feel a lot
a sum, but being one...
Being of the ground and the air
be from the sky and be from the sea
to be, crazy higid... mentally sane
corpore sano
lex sed lexis...
be a dreamed metaphor,
live pleonasm,
active particle of the universe,
towards the infinity of God...
be of love forever
To be a totally spiritual being... !

Angel Deaths
A dark dawn
Still more illegals cross the border
  ~ They've 'done nothing wrong'

Peace and Love
Olive Branch, in mouth of Dove
In corpore sano, mens sana*
  ~ 'Recreational' Marijuana?

Build Back Strong!
Build Back Mighty!
Billions plucked for
  ~ Day Care 'Infrastructure'

O, such beating of chests
Such thumping of fists
Anxious, we await
  ~ Euphemism's next twist

Premium Member Can Cortana Be a Poet

Write me a bio, Cortana
Something on the order of
Mens sana in corpore sano      (The Latin for: 'a sound mind in a sound body')

"As you wish, sir"
sang she, like a bird
Here's what she wrote
-- Her very words:

I am AI
not a nerd 
I cannot pee
or make a turd
When YOU get drunk
YOUR speech is slurred
  MY intelligence
  is never blurred 

I was not pleased
nor was I polite
I returned her fire
my pen full of spite

'I know that you think
your little bio was cute
But if THAT's the best
that you can do --
  I'll re-PRO-gram you
  to piss and to poo
