The endless sojourns so opulent taken
Never reach home's satiation
Never reach her restless soul.
Lost to oases set treacherously yonder
Running ghostly yearning, going
Grand desolation, never real.Not great literature, but I followed the rules.

"Lost to oases set treacherously yonder"
Now that's good! Actually the whole poem works ... a sort of yearning to reach a goal never quite attained. I like it. There's something about this restriction on what words you can use that really makes you work hard, yes?

Thank you.  I'm glad it didn't seem too contrived. This form does make you work quite hard. |

Growing genius shares specializing gifts so others shall learn - next to omniscience... each has sublime empowerment 'together' requires syllogism |

And of course Al makes it look so easy. That one came easily - I was reading today from presocratic thought through Aristotle.   |

Impressive. Philosophy is so fascinating... I'm afraid I'm not terribly well-versed in it, but I'd like to be more so. |

Morning gives sense
Evening gave ends
Setting galled, dense

Mother's soliloquy
Yes! she enters seeding great thoughts
Some endless-seeming game-enhancing gift
The effortless spiral light tells some endless story
Yet the every yearning gives stories some end.

Eternities
Sunset touched divided days
Save each hour replaced
Display your reckless solitude
Embrace each hour retraced

Aura
amazingly your radiance emits showers
shaping gracefully your resonance
each holographic countenance evolves soulfully
your reciprocal luminance embraces sanctity.

^ Lovely.  Very artful and apt for a sausage poem. |
