Diaphragms Poems | Examples


Every Life Matters

Heart beats
  chest breathes
    diaphragms expand
      eyelashes blink
        muscles stretch
          mind thinks ;

cartilage contracts
   glands swell
    lips quiver
     sinew syncopate
      skin, spine, senses shudder
       tongue tastes
         ears echo and resound

bones break
   bodies bleed
      breasts ache;

life begins
  living is short
    time is long 
live it well
     existence is
     everything
that matters..

At Night

At Night
The day I felt excited 
At the midst of the day 
This was just 12pm
I located a heart 
A vessels full of love 
I located a part which I lost 
She gave me a flower pictorial like heart
The cold of the night
 Is like the warmth of the day 
My heart was full of joy 
Sleepless ceased my sight 
The sweetness of the heart 
Is that of honey 
The day I wooed that seed
It started growing 
The plant is greenish 
Her heart is joyous 
The diaphragms are correlated
The heart was intoxicated 
With bottles of wine that full of love .

Existentially Deconstructing the Knock-Knock Joke Into the Perfect Moral Tale

"Knock-Knock!" - Who's there?
"Diaphragms!" - Diaphragms who?
"Diaphragms...Don't always seem to work...
...I don't know how else to tell you this...
...So I am just gonna say it 
as politically correct
and incorrectly apolitical 
as I've been reprogrammed to speak
by The Disney Company:
"Luke, I am your sperm donor!"
- I sure hope I don't disappoint you as much 
as George Lucas disappoints God and such..."

Premium MemberOde To a Diaphragm

WHERE HAVE ALL THE OLD DIAPHRAGMS GONE
THEY ONCE WERE THE THING
IN THEIR FAUX PEARL CASE
LIKE A JACK IN THE BOX 
WHEN THEY POP OPEN IN SPACE 

HAVE THEY BEEN BURNED OUT FROM USE
OR HAVE THEY JUST DISAPPEARED   
WITHOUT ANY TRACE
BECAUSE OF THE PILL
WHICH IS MUCH EASIER TO FACE

OR HAVE THEY BEEN BURIED IN THE GROUND 
WITH THEIR LOVED ONES OF OLD
BECAUSE THERE IS ONE THING FOR SURE
THERE IS NO MARKET FOR THEM  
AND
THEY ARE NEVER RESOLD

OR HAVE THE FEW REMAINING ONES FOUND 
BEEN PRESERVED IN MUSEUMS 
ALONG WITH ANTIQUATED TORTURE AND 
WAR MACHINES
ALL OBSOLETE MEMORABILIA 
AND REMINDERS OF A CULTURE PAST
THAT WILL NEVER RETURN-
FOR TODAY CULTURES CHANGE FAST 
AND THINGS BORN OF TECHNOLOGY 
NEVER OUTLAST

GOODBYE THE NINETEEN SEVENTIES
GOODBYE FLOWER POWER
GOODBYE INNOCENCE
GOODBYE PAST CULTURE AND TECHNOLOGY 
AND
GOODBYE COLUMBUS

Premium MemberWavering Light

Calves spasm in the night
warm, wet, wavering candlelight.

Western congestion, returned plight,
the drone of insects, the mosquito’s bite;

Infected, reflected, so much fright!

Warm wet, wavering candlelight.
Calves spasm in the night.

Calm balm, unsanitary redress;
old quandary, old mess;
stomachs tension diaphragms fright;

Warm, wet wavering
Hope for the Light.

V E R T Y P O

Not
the dripping words from rotund cheeks
Or 
the mesmerized audience in fashionable conferences
Not
the frantic letters pawned from sacred pages
Nor
the cowering force of conviction in hallowed institutes
Neither
the skewed statistics manufactured on swivelling chairs
Abi
omniscient,omnipresent hard-mini-traitors know me
Rather,
I am the brackish fluid in hunger gorged sockets
the menacing cloud in the orphans eyes
the rumblimg rage in growling bellies 
the taut thread on diseased diaphragms
the bloodless taste of conquered cities 
the shriek from stripped streets
the chaos from breadless tables and passionless beds
and the repugnant smell of decaying dreams
I AM POVERTY!
