"The selective instinct of the artist tells him when his language should be homely, and when it should be more elevated; and it is precisely in the imperceptible blending of the plain with the ornate that a great writer is distinguished. He uses the simplest phrases without triviality, and the grandest without a suggestion of grandiloquence."
~ George Henry Lewes
I am a fan of simple,
Not highly ornate,
I must understand the words,
So as to relate;
When I read poetry deep
With toughest vocab,
And the meaning of the lines
Are too hard to grab,
I'll simply skip it and go
To the next best one,
Too flowery is not cool,
Such poems I'll shun;
As they say, keep it simple,
It works best for me,
Ornate language is okay,
But it'll just bore me,
For I'm a fan of simple,
Not highly ornate,
But give me ornate trinkets,
Now, that would be great.

For Constance La France's "Writing Challenge - 'O' words" contest
Basking in mirth’s pleasure from seizure’s test
striving boy blends well with Mom’s crooning voice
outgrowing not delights of lullabies
wafting joyous bonding blest wonderment.
Around gracious love-sealed partnership-zest
so oblivious of burdensome noise
candid son shows secrets, devoid of lies
through language Mom grasps in her discernment.
By sweet kiss of innocent caress’ best
dear tot greets Mom with his jubilant poise
acting serene, though spastic-angst defies
championing steadfast care merriment.
Mom does surmount nurturing challenges' height
midst thanksgiving bliss for special child's flight.
*2Corinthians 12:15 And I will very gladly spend and be spent for you; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I be loved.

From sunset 'til dawn, how do I love thee?
To the music of the cooing doves song
From the crack of dawn with sunny skies or gray
With each thought that passes into light
Of matter gray, each breath that I take
How do I love thee?, often my heart
Strays into a lovely day with flowers gay
How do I love thee?, deep; long; with each breath
That I inhale and release never to cease
How do I love thee, inadequately pure
Of this my soul is forever sure
How do I love thee, with phileo love
Sometimes eros but await total agape
In response to
How Do I Love Thee? (Sonnet 43)
"Elizabeth Barrett Browning, 1806 - 1861

I know that the rhyme scheme is not correct on this one but it just flowed when I wrote it awhile back..I hope that you enjoy reading it..
Our Comings And Goings
Signals concerning streams of tones in lights,
Quadrillion twenty to being precise,
Derivations a formidable chore,
Left for later, time for us to explore,
Of a dying world now eon lifeless,
Once home to living beings most like us,
A passing records a race of humans,
Records a mass planetary movements,
No mass exodus has been recorded,
Signals nova near, we have been ordered,
Farewell, planet...what was this planet named,
Earth, Farewell Planet Earth--none, that's ashamed,
As planet explodes to oblivion,
Perchance we may bump into one of them.

Rhyme Scheme;

Men from the martial planet Mars, versus
We, women from the virtuous Venus,
Long in covert wordless wars to discuss
Way out, change there’s in focus nor status.
For feigning love aimed just at carnal sex,
Man for long’s sharpened his pyrrhic war axe,
Whilst to get loved the fair sex’s paid tithe-tax,
Both pretend peace whilst battles wane and wax.
Should one believe what an expert sayeth,
Conjugal life courses on a feigned faith,
The two fight until truce comes to catch breath,
But liberation scarce cometh ere death!
Till then prevails there an uneasy truce,
Marital truce leads to conjugal juice.

Poet’s note: An atypical rhyme scheme using just three rhymes: aaaa/bbbb/cccc/dd
Laveaha was a beautiful mermaid,
who lived underneath the real deep sea.
She was a princess who longed to be free,
finding her one true love was what she prayed.
Zueselist, king controlled her every move,
he wanted the best for his little girl.
She aimed to live life and give it a whirl.
Laveaha felt that she had much to prove.
At night she would swim to the ocean's shore,
once she reached land, she was able to walk,
Laveaha ran and used her voice to talk.
being above the ocean wasn't a bore.
One night her eyes laid on a handsome man,
she didn't want to return her ocean home.
She found true love and heart wouldn't roam,
He was her soulmate, perfect gentleman.
Laveaha left her crown and her power,
they married and became husband and wife.
She never looked back, just embraced her life,
although long ago, she visits the hour.
The rhyme scheme "abba" (that is, where the first and fourth lines, and the second and third lines rhyme).

My lovely grandma taught me how to bake apple pie
I helped her in the kitchen from when I was knee high
Old family recipes were written down in a book
Cakes, cookies and pies were all so skilfully made
When grandma gave instructions I quickly obeyed
We’d pour over the pages deciding what we would cook
I recall those childhood days and I often look
At its stained pages and the knowledge she conveyed
Baking was such fun
Precious memories remain
I remember happy times
Every time I bake
I put on her blue apron
And teach my son how to cook
Fictional write - Sadly I didn't have a maternal or paternal grandmother and feel I missed out so much as a child

A springtime bloom with golden hue
Swaying 'neath clouds with fluffy plume
Symbols of hope and all things new
A springtime bloom
They dare to rise in winter's gloom
As their trumpets come into view
One season fades, as one's abloom
Petals glisten with morning dew
Weaving beauty on springtime's loom
They always appear right on cue
A springtime bloom

I sit enveloped in a fog
That never breaks but for the rain
Of salty tears and oozing blood
I've loosed from yet another vein.
While all around me lovers kiss
And mothers give their babes a change
New love, new clothes, each a fresh start
I see as sickeningly strange.
I crave the putrid and the shunned
The dusty corners webbed and dark
A bottom dweller, fetid form
Cast out from every patriarch.
I am not fit to walk this earth
Indwell this body I sear in
I am ruined, unfit, unclean
My bulging middle screams my sin.
If I had the strength to end it,
But Evil bids me to stay on
And face the shame I cannot speak
Birthing my brother and my son.

Lunars or Luna Roman Moon Goddess
I, Lunars, whose bio-influences,
Control the power to ease in childbirth,
I am the Roman goddess of the moon,
The inspirator of your romances.
Chaos is the god of the constant void,
I, Lunars, forever changing, -- attune,
Induce tiredness, then sleep without a peep,
My chariot moves moon, Chaos annoyed.
I, the patron of femininity,
My human consort chose forever sleep
I can regulate your clairvoyances,
I have the skill to masque reality.
I can make a hole in your illusion,
I proffer your dreams and intuition,
I can help you start your psychic vision,
I, goddess Lunars, an institution.
