Skeltonic Poems | Examples


Premium MemberAnticipating the Wait

Legs slowly extend
moments push and bend
I sigh
must the morning end
as sun meets the skin
deep sigh
Eyes close once again 
sheets are folding in 
oh my


Fingers are tracing
a day in waiting
like this
air is exciting
lips are inviting
oh yes
Stay in my morning
anticipating 
such bliss

Something playful and romantic

Form of Poetry - Lai
The lai is another French form. It’s a nine-line poem or stanza that uses an “a” and “b” rhyme following this pattern: aabaabaab. The lines with an “a” rhyme use 5 syllables; the “b” rhyme lines have 2 syllables. It feels kind of like organized skeltonic verse.

Irreverent Ritual

Blink awake, get up,
Brew reviving cup,
Breathe each fuelling sup,
Then to the cleansing waters go,
Inhale the essence slow,
Awash with ebb and flow,
Purified head to toe,
Mystery of water empower
At this early hour
The mind comes to in the shower,
Blink awake, get up,
Brew reviving cup,
Breathe each fuelling sup,
Caffeine shot number two,
Day ahead, so much to do,
A wish for time to see it through,
And blessings of love sent to you,
The click of heat making toast,
And Marmite spread I love the most,
Picking up the morning post,
More bills, the same old ghost,
Blink awake, get up,
The third reviving cup,
Breathe each fuelling sup,
In sacred words they always say,
Like ghouls demanding I must pay,
Already the mind has gone astray,
What a way
To start the day
Time for coffee number four,
As from pot to cup I deftly pour,
The darkness I adore,
And now I must head out the door,
The working day is calling me,
I’m ready, tanked with coffee,
And in my mind I’m always free,
With a note of love from me to thee
This ritual ends and blessed it be!
