Ossifying Poems | Examples


Premium Membermove-in

Although we’re just moving in,
It feels like we’re lived in these rooms forever.

I can’t look around without the past coming out to play.
These ivy halls are sticky with memories now.

The movers left a while ago and I took a moment to loiter,
on our red corduroy couch, and watch my roommates settling in.

There’s an irony, for me, in the subconscious ways I adapt
to the people who surround me. Whether it’s the way I dress, talk,
laugh, act, or the things I become interested in. There’s no ossifying here.

We’ll pick up our books tomorrow and do some last minute shopping.
I’ll walk out paths to classes. I know the campus but I’m a relentless planner.

Classes start Wednesday, that’s when circumstances will take over -
the schedules and studies - we’ll mold our lives into the larger ecosystem.

Premium MemberThe Sage Ones Know To Keep Counsel

light of the forest occurred once a year
beginning as a flicker, but ossifying into a white stag
is she our heart then? young sapling asked his twig
twig had no idea, so kept silent
owl, moss, mushrooms, and elementals knew
the wisest course is to let everyone figure it out
in their own time frame,
some learn it in one lifetime
others take hundreds of lifetimes to figure it out
god gave the sage ones a nod

Premium MemberA Zen Meditation

A lush mountain of scintillating pines,
breathe in elevating bouquet,
breathe out the tension.

Sentinels wave in lilting breeze,
breathe in radiant light,
breathe out ossifying stress.

A gentle terrain in silent air,
breathe in oxygen,
breathe without care.

Soft soil rests in light repose,
breathe in light beauty,
allow heart to share.

Here in nature’s gentle grace,
introspection’s a healing balm;
peace of enlightenment reigns.

In nature, I feel peace within
and God speaks gently on the winds,
so soft the voice now flows.

We are the same, this earth and I
to care for her, I do avow
aligned harmonically.

This elysian womb is our home;
no living thing’s ever alone,
all is one, all is zen.

Tendencies Ossifying Obsequious Linguistics

I 
do 
have a 
Message for
one Harry Manback
it does regard his long Lost Keys
don't Blame Hoffman for his Disposition, you Jerk Off!
You Lied when you said you didn't hold The Grudge as a Reflection of Intolerance
Makes me so Disgustipated, you should Crawl Away
you're a Hooker with a *****
who likes Prision Sex
when Sober
Hush H.
it's 
true

Cold 
and 
Ugly
repugnant
like Ticks and Leeches
say what I want, not serious
But Jimmy in his Mantra thinks otherwise of you
to him you are the Bottom of The Pot, or like Rosetta Stoned on an Opiate
a Schism separating us Right in Two, Stinkfist!
ne'er you'll have Forty Six and Two
like Fibonacci
Pushit and
Jambi
seems
nice

Here's 
a 
Swamp Song
Eulogy
(Useful Idiot)
Four Degrees of No Quarter gave 
to The Patient caught in the Aenima Undertow
skewed into a Parabola
Intension candid
Part of Me
needs to
Sweat 
tears

Now
my 
Third Eye
becoming
Vicarious through
the pure Lateralus Triad
