Longitudinal Poems | Examples


Potestades Virgo Case

only things grown in the ground remain
but mismatched without the hand of man
see that they dodge beautiful
their languishing longitudinal vegetable bodies
never suffer fracture the stems with fruits
and their armor and weapons, bark and branches
trees
no, I didn't think our past was decent
humans
if you ask me about those days of debauchery
we were building ourselves up like the men we now are
with wars and ironworks asps vertices vortices cusps
and it was discovered that it is easy to be reborn another
improvement is advisable
there is only one exit after a wall called brain
then the field we learned to cultivate
now this is what we are having mastered cultivation
homunculi like scattered tares sprouting without end
the power of some being the downfall of others
history built with annihilations
and then the progress
the home appliances
microwave TV freezer wire and electricity
then bytes and bits
now nanoeverything
tomorrow AI and nothing more.

I Desire To Die Hard

Betrothed, 
Please don't come to the college campus 
In a rosy costume like a blooming red rose,
I feel bad.
Don't move on  the corridors  with your swan walks 
Being surrounded by your friends 
Like a Moghul princess, I feel bad.

Betrothed, 
Forming whirlpools in your blush red cheek
Nodding red jaw and sharp tongue 
Waving snow white slim hands 
Please don't tiptoe on the yard 
Like strings playing on the guitar 
My heart pounds, pebbles create longitudinal waves 
in my chest pond.,water tremble within 
I feel sad.

Betrothed, 
During tiffin hour  sitting in the common room
Don't  unbraid your long black hair 
Like Radha ilike a naughty rivulet 
The limitless sky may be covered with dark clouds 
All the neon bulbs may go out of order
I don't like to  use simile for you
Where's you, where is the black clouds. 

Betrothed, 
Don't put your two scarlet lips 
in the cup of hot tea in the cafeteria .
The flowery garden of tiny lips may wither 
in the scorching sun.
Thirsty greenery may burn like a  desert. 

I desire to die  hard.¦

( A COLLABORATION BY NATASHA L SCRAGG AND ROBERT JAMES LIGUORI )

Aether is the fabric of our universe -
Tiny granules that transfer energy
In the form of waves ~~~
This goes on unseen constantly!

It propagates light and other waves,
Longitudinal and transverse
( Or electromagnetic )
Right across the universe!

Aether stretches far beyond
The laws of physiology!
Did you know that Aether
Is also a god in Greek Mythology?

In chemistry, it is flammable.
It is used as an anaesthetic.
It's a solvent used in industrial processes -
Google it ~ this knowledge is authentic!

But at the same time,
It's a word that is seldom heard.
Most people have better luck
Deciphering the songs of a bird!

But today,  ' Aether ' was on my list,
To master and triumph,
As if it was a fifth wish!

Oh, the gravity of this situation,
Like cosmic forces similar to Shakti,
I feel that I have learned so much!
Should I be yelling out,  ' Yahtzee! ' ?

The king of the classical elements,
Earth, Air, Water and Fire ~~~
Aether bends and amends our universe,
To be the most desired!

Dreams

what's a dream without a dreamer
don't live for a cause
be the one who the cause lives by
what's a path without a finder
what's value if it's not valued
let it be a float against the tide
let it be a wild ride
let it be a flow against gravity
we fly only when gravity falls for our gravity
my horizons are longitudinal
there's a midday moon guiding to a portal

Turkey Necks and Bat Wings

*Inspired by Cheryl Hoffman’s “The Skin We’re In”  — Go read it!

On a turkey it's called a wattle
on a moose, "the bell," (not “the bottle”)
Those batlike things?
(too small - see wings)
dewlaps*, odd appendages we coddle

We're prisoners of the skin we’re in
some have it thick, some have it real thin
It may seem quite brittle,
when splatted with spittle,
it sloughs right off, again and again

So gobble some buffalo wings
fluffle up your wattle and sing,
“Don’t be obtuse.
I’m not a moose!
I’m a turkey, you big ding-a-ling!"

(*A dewlap is a longitudinal flap of skin that hangs beneath the lower jaw or neck of many vertebrates. While the term is usually used in this specific context, it can also be used to include other structures occurring in the same body area with a similar aspect, such as those caused by a double chin or the submandibular vocal sac of a frog.

Miscellaneous Page Diagram

A ship in a dip is a duplicate of a massive six ton truck echoing at nine miles an hour in a tunnel. Oh traffic rather stoic today. But trafficking is often great fun for gerbils weighing in at over eighty pounds. £ % £ % waffling. Waffles and lots of cream. Iced curves in mazes. Vast tunnels of elephants then. Played with a big shrew in a big field. How great the ears of a geological gelding reading an encyclopedia in reading glasses. The small antique table. Steady hands are hooves. Freezing is the device of a used tabletop tablet score. Wisdom is neither obtained from a scientific sheet or a statistic paper. Lust lusting laughing leering leaning longitudinal leftovers. And a very smiley face of a bin. Bean beaming braking branching. Hahahaha and now a big wave waving. Hahahaha and a minnow. Xxxx jeopardisation. Xxxx palaeontology z

Longitudinal ***

Raising a barrier with an expression of a trunk barrel is quite astonishing really. Whilst holding a booking breaming fish at a straightforward angle. In sunshine or at schools in closeted cupboards eating a lot of cakes then. Dance with ninety six thousand frogs. Hahahaha and a few long pies. Hahahaha xx longitudinal ***

Life of Old Threads In a Jacquard- Infinite Infinitian Contest

Jails we weave in hues of red rust
All our yarns are strong and just 
Croons of threads sing on a
Quilt, "A song of trust!"
Urged the wefts,'we
Are like Silk,
Roped for
dust!


8th October 2015

Jacquard: a fabric made on a loom fitted with a jacquard, with an intricate variegated pattern
Weft: In weaving, the weft is the term for the thread or yarn which is drawn through the warp yarns to create cloth. Warp is the lengthwise or longitudinal thread in a roll, while weft is the transverse thread.

Serious Poem Ii

Only one of the haiku poems below is serious. The others are frivolous. Can you spot the serious poem?

Longitudinal
lines run lengthwise, criss-crossing
lines of latitude.

A "friend of the court,"
or "amicus curiae,"
is no friend of mine!

For perfect haiku,
you must check your syllable
count religiously.

You can run, but you
cannot hide, from the sweeping
hand of Father Time.

The four in boring
salesman suit pants were foreign-
born ring salesladies.

I tuned my Toro,
programmed my Panasonic—
then mowed through Matlock.

Ghostwriter Madly In Love

Happily piling in,
The discount store games begin
tis the season to be jolly but
Dont ****ing touch me!-
beneath the holly
I dont know where that mouths been
and look at those clothes!
thrift store threads, what hideous throws!
Clank clonk clank, duh
dribbling dance, but i wont get on the dance floor and
Cut a rug!
Im far too fly of a fashion bug
Hairs exquisite down to the longitudinal strand 
ha did you see last night reality show?
Come up with phantoms
Sphinxes, and gargoyles-
The honest are misleading
Succubus lies in recline
And snickers at it all
While her parasol protects her
Cuz the demons dont like the sun at all

Under the Arch

Darkened, over worked souls, balance on the tips of stiletto daggers. 
Stabbing inflicted under the keystone of the longitudinal arch.
Warm black tongues glide from the vamp section atop the toe box to the tight shaft.
Though in pain she limps down the catwalk
