Rigidity Poems | Examples

Premium Member Ode to Destruction - Apr 14

Though matter may not be destroyed, the form
must be deformed; absolute fluidity
demands—with absolute rigidity—
that bonds made break free from an unstable frame.—

Erratic molecules and particles swarm
beyond the confines of lucidity;
But we, in stupor (and stupidity),
(poor things), give to fluidity a name…

I mean to say: Destruction is a must!
For,—given that something new’s to be built—,
creation draws from the dead flower’s wilt.
The energy that binds two atoms:tight:
is Love, attraction in the highest light!—
I mean to say: Destruction is the Just!

Premium Member Practicing the pause

An epiphany dawns: practice the pause,
without stifling heart’s spontaneous vibe.
Our void-centric presence seeks no applause,
conditioned patterns choosing to proscribe.

Holding steady sconce of childlike delight,
suffused in mists borne by bliss magnetism,
in cave of heart, simply feeling God’s light,
dwelling in peace is our soul’s chosen ism.

Space in and around, hums with God’s power,
with which we are touched, blessed and unified.
His breath alone is that does empower,
so why should we behind mere symbols hide?

In vibrant stillness, rigidity thaws ~
An epiphany dawns: practice the pause.

THE PAST

[00:26, 08/02/2025] evrod samuel: figure me this 
figure me that 
whisper of  a cloudy past 
and im into that 

poised to linger in reliving make believe
any spare time for reverie 
is comfort 
that swaddles me 

peace are you really in my past ?
am i stuck here 
and treating it as a wholesome repast ?

loop of overthinking 
where will you let me off
do i benefit from being so steadfast
and always lost in unsure thoughts 

the rigidity of the past
offers sincerity 
it happened 
it was
its where im glued

Premium Member Alone


Lifelong companion why do you cling to me 
ever so stubbornly like an old scar 
Shadow of ignorance, oh how you loom 
making me feel threadbare and alone.
Deaf leopard of my existence,  
why do you not hear my cries ?

Your rigidity has me searching
for answers that do not exist, 
Feeling forlorn and un-accompanied
by joy, I only have recourse to you  

Loneliness, why do you pursue me ?
In this vast inner Universe of mine     
I'm seeking togetherness 
from anyone by you, 

Loneliness, please leave me alone 
help me,  
tear down these Jericho walls.

          _________________________________________

In my last prayer, words and dreams merge,
My concepts have changed as a brittle verge.
Such a rainbow of hues in this growing vision,
My head swirls in whispered tasks and decisions.

Strong in my beliefs, I now question all things,
As if a veil is lifted, I sweated even the little things,
My soul is seeking knowledge and rearrange,
Now awkward by set ideals, I relish the strange.

No beyond blindness or rigidity to act as a slave,
Having altered, I am now freed from any cave,
In my recent musings, I have explored curiosity,
Getting raw insight and seeing awe in diversity.

My comprehension grows as I explore my mind,
Laying buried muse that shines akin to orbs aligned,
Placing the ideas in words is an ideal symphony,
Written words depict my impending destiny.

My route is wider, and I explore the universe,
Seeking wisdom all over, valuing what's diverse,
We ought to value this superb mental shift,
In our recent beliefs, raw prospects are adrift.

Premium Member The Only Way

insistent emphasis
dogmatic views
make for faith
fundamentalistic

specious belief
eristic rigidity
stagnates in a cave
caging spontaneity 

seeking without surrender
clinging to scriptures
imprisons the soul
in a mind trap

repeated affirmations
manifest heart’s aspirations
as a conjured epiphany 
deepening delusion

sans thought who are we
unfettered and unbound
beyond mental concepts 
look for that oh hermit

Premium Member Treat Them With Respect

Respect is the essence which never fades
Respect is what one needs during  the journey
Be respectful of others,    
use your conscience, treat them with dignity. 

Not everyone has had it easy in life 
and from my experience 
those who have suffered the most have the most
amazing beautiful fractal heart; 
No everyone has it handed to them on a silver plate 
some have had to contend with abuse and hate 
be gentle when sharing your views with others 
yours might have come easy, but theirs were hard earned 
Bend the reed but don't break it,  
rigidity is for mules not humans ; 
Let them feel free to express their beliefs 
without being clubbed over the head !
Its easy to have faith when everything is going well 
its easy to give up, when everything is not 
Be kind to those who wear scars on their sleeve 
be good to all, harm none, and most of all 
Respect where they are, when it came to survival, they had the gall.

Succumb to a rabbit hole, avalanche perception
Compiles tiles sliding, interchanging hues
Collapses cement rigidity command of tension 
Cube covers corners interior cog subdues

Determined digits dive in darker dire dimension
Coming to glinted dug river bed treasures
Coalesce of pleasures drift in liquid suspension 
Culminate in mind crowned proud avenger

Clever surface turner ensures dirt spurns limits
Combative burrow tunnel richly delivers 
Coherent limber fingers edges can never inhibit
Campaign clocks widening prize winner

Squander of wonder prevents viewpoint shifted 
Deficient Virus solution outrage renews
Seething bacteria rehashed in plastic indifferent
Daunt of grainy agitation, a cure debuts

putridity rhymes with acridity
  for the same reason that
tumidity rhymes with turgidity

and tepidity is to vapidity
  as solidity is to rigidity

Under Adam's Spell

I sat in front of his mirror - 
my long locks looking askew.
It brought me significant anguish.
Atrocious means horrible in my book
and my book spelled it awry...

    A – Awful
    W – Weird
    R – Rigid
    Y – Yuk

Luckily, a new hairdresser, Adam,
gave me auspicious hope.
He was able to assuage the rigidity
with great aspiration, 
with a burning desire towards release.
My head was in his hands.
He managed to absolve my wild ringlets
removing hairspray, gels, then cutting.
After awhile, I stood up amazed.
Adam had spelled my awkward look with allure...

    A – Attention
    L – Lavished
    L – Loveliness
    U – Unrivaled
    R – Release
    E – Elation

I Don'T Feel Like a Pirate

I don't feel like a pirate
As I travel along carefree.
My husband navigates
Us through the channels, as boats, ships, and
Tankers, accelerate and decelerate.
He is definitely the captain on this journey.
I don't feel like a pirate
I celebrate
All I see.
My husband navigates
As he operates
Our boat with out any castrophes.
I don't feel like a pirate
Yet, we are sailing the seas
My husband navigates
And trys to educate
With rigidity which destroys my serenity.
Now I feel like a pirate
As my husband navigates.
