| Cancel Us Bones
|
unknown
| Milky-white, | 1 |
but not milk-like, | 2 |
sensitive periosteum skin- | 3 |
layer lapped over | 4 |
contradicting compact and cancellous | 5 |
bone burrowing the marrow in | 6 |
to make blood cells. | 7 |
| |
Kindly keeping calcium | 8 |
to oppose corrosive | 9 |
tendencies while settling strong | 10 |
bonding barriers against ailing | 11 |
bounties for bones. | 12 |
| |
Finally, flirting with the fine line | 13 |
measured by muscle at most | 14 |
the bone breaks | 15 |
respectfully resigning its responsibility | 16 |
to the doodle-ly-dimwit | 17 |
insulating it with his innards. | 18 |

Retitle it "Cancel Us Bones." I reckon the rascal ate it.
— NicMichaels
I'm not sure if I agree with the title change. I would be glad to hear the reasoning though.

Bones is too generic. Cancellous. Bone flies apart at the end, no? Nothing literal about cancel.
— NicMichaels
Alright, that seems sound.

Nice write. Good use of alliterations. Very effective for this one. Great poem all the way but the 1st strophe is my fave.
— JKWeb
Thanks JK. It's funny that you say that because the 1st stanza was the poem in the first draft.
