Elision Poems | Examples


Premium Member Vanished Smile

That's a sin for God and all creation.
A stone-like heart best describes you.
Blood sei, Nubia tears, and a brief elision
Extremely wide and bone-white in hue.

The grin you used to wear long ago
Has vanished into a sea of bitter tears.
The whale you sought in the bay sank low.
bears wisdom and bravery without fear.

Your whole crew is incredibly brave.
With some wild spears in a back-alley saloon,
The mania grew into a full-fledged tidal wave.
They dragged the ship and are now maroons.

Don't travel faraway on one prosthetic foot.
Turn around the vessel; we still hope yet. 
A despair pall lingered over the deck soot. 
For prancing sake, we've never met.

If you hinder ignoring us, we will all die shortly.
Doom's mind and soul are free of sea spirit.
I hope that you'll be standing by to greet me.
Power derived from the same source to inherit.

Premium Member Profusion of Confusion

'Tis no collusion in the collision
  or delusion in the decision

But the effusion of elision
  in the intrusion of the incision

Accents the protrusion of provisions
  in the suffusion of supervision 

By which diffusion of division
  in the exclusion of excision --

All goes to show
  the profusion of confusion
    ~ in this here revision!

Perfect Peace

held contempt was i before the rain, 
cascading downward into my reverie-
i lathered in what used to be a dream, 
not knowing what i could have had-
with you by my side

you are an elision of a masterpiece,
what used to be beaut, 
now coarse-
what was once whole, 
now shattered;
an omission of guilt flew away with
the ravens of the night

i stand alone inside a shadow-
he comforts me when weary;
i face dreary days without a reason
to awake,
and i am never granted permission
to be who someone who was fake

the crepuscular grey moon shines not-
for the dusk has become what dawn
always dreamed of-
a crystalline PROMSIE of PERFECT PEACE

i shall carry hope in my pocket, 
wear faith on my sleeve-
believing that one day i too, 
can rise with the sunbeams
and 
sleep with the stars...
                      with you by my side

Caesura Aquatica

Voyagers, convene thyselves to return, among us...
Caesura, crown nigh clod, a sylph unwept,
elision thy silhouette, meno thy minuet...
Thine late occurence on thee, wake of cerise sand

Thou belief, like a billow, upon your whitish cheek,
'Twas marina bay, her twaddle a garb of mer,
A henchman docks, thy quay, girdles stymie ebbs,
but he cannot dream aloft a dream she confers...

O'er to woo hand in hand, thou overture unto Sirocco,
Plagues thy pirate ships, quakes men with mar,
His and his only demand, an aegis for lagoons amidst...
Once deluged, sun askew above, one abyss of bagatelles

Deters a tocsin, feign mooting mammals, thy kin a boon,
Aquatica, thee damsel for diminuendos, spurns thy sire,
Her gentle mettle, calls thee, His fervor season calentures...
Aloof thy celestial kisser, nay thy nine, vim domiciles solitary

Doomed skulls ravish, an age id by ice, culls thee, for chastity,
Some may not know, we died to have our love live, over and again,
Amity vows posy littoral seaflowers, buoys colonnades of adventure...
thence, cradles await upon matins, sail thy Oceanus genesis, amen.
