A literal technique ‘opposite’ to prose (e.g. everyday speech).
Better off as dead
Instead of full speed ahead
To an unknown dread
Chopping off like horse’s head
And while fast asleep in bed
Believe liars’ said
Tearful realities shed
Road not often tread
Fearful of truth, hatred led
Upon cold lover’s bed spread
Another dark sample of ‘divorcing from people’ tanka in monorhyme.

Glucose sleepy, electrolyte shock
Digital blinking, silent phone clock
Breathing deeply, florescent light mock
Sinking spell dreaming, violent rock
A sleepy poem of four lines with internal and end rhymes.

With twelfth floor career
Windows to girl’s mind austere
Tube shaped sunshine, blue-green sphere

First comes God, the number one
Father, Mother and the Son
Then comes you, the number two
Love myself as I love you
Then comes we, the number three
Loving fully, willful free
Through the door with number four
Back with one for fun some more

Sylphs here and there
Undulating waves in air
Deep blue skies of fair
Windy blowing without care
Yesterday and today they share
Little birds flying
Land on bird bath while trying
YeYo keet crying
Separated from dying
Parakeets content sighing

My monster masterpiece
Blogger’s world never to cease
From my small world release
Deep thoughts never at peace
Small mind sharing increase

Fires brew of screeching swear.
Cowards hide in earthen lair.
Water flowing tear drops hair.
Fly girls dancing sylphs in air.
React to nothing compare.
Becoming more self aware.
Suddenly with wide eye stare —
God is love and everywhere.
The poem above describes a natural progression in the form of elementals. From the base emotion of anger, there is the color of red. Anger, when raging out of control, does bring about the fear factor in all of us. This is portrayed as the brown earth providing a means of escape and where critters burrow and bury deep inside to hide from the anger. With the clear water of life, sadness washes away the devastation left behind by anger and fear. And joy is replaced as freedom from anger and fear once and for all by the wispy cloud formations in the blue skies.
The next four emotions describe yet another progression in the mind of imagination. A point in any matter is defined as a singular it. An anti-matter, which is portrayed with disgust for not being true in the first place, is already defined yet incomparable. By reflecting anti-matter away from itself, there is a curiosity and a consciousness that when given enough data based on the first four emotions would meet with surprise and at that instant knowing and accepting that there is only One.
