Oh, to be Ordinary and Oblivious!
Obtuse to the Oppressive memories
repressed from days of Old.
Obscene images Occupying One’s mind
causing Overwhelming emotions
to Occur, On Occasion,
at in-Opportune times.
Ominous reflections
Orchestrating and Offering their Opus;
an Overture yearning to be heard.
If not met head On,
becoming an Obstacle to
Our personal growth.
In Order To move Onward,
spiritually and emotionally,
along life’s Odyssey
I Opine to you...
Optimistically and without Offense...
that it is Our Obligation to be Open
to working through the woe.
Offer that Olive branch to the pain.
Oblige the hurt.
And Only then shall they truly be
Obliterated to
Once upon a time

That was breathtaking, Polly. You've given me an all new respect for the letter "O".
I love your poems. This one gives me lots to think about!
Polly. As always your posts are just Outstanding.
When our first round through Alphabe-Thursday is done I'm hoping you will publish these into a book so I can buy one.
You can really write girl.
Thanks for this deep and complex stop on my little journey through Alphabe-Thursday's Letter "O".
Please excuse the early visit but I am teaching night school tonight!
A+
Polly, you continue to astound me. How do you manage to come up with all these appropriate words each time and then put them to verse. You definitely need to publish these. Put me on the list after
Mrs. Matlock for a copy of your fist book.
OMG, now I think this one is the BEST. I wish I could do this. Great job.
I am O so new to this meme and so far yours is my favorite - I must challenge myself to participate fully from this point forward. I loved this O post!
WOW...you've obviously outwitted and outspoken us all!!! I don't know how you came up with all of that, but I am impressed!!!!
Oh my....sO nicely dOne...smiles.
You write so beautifully, and to be able to do so while keeping with the alphabet theme is amazing! I'm with Jenny and Sarah, sign me up for a book! Kathy
cool job!
Polly,
Wow girl, you have a way with words! Your poem gives me lots to think about. You are an amazing poet!
That poem rocked my soul.
AWE-SOME...nuf said (o:
this is great...although i do have to admit that while reading it, all i could think was that I should have "played" opine in our after dinner game of scrabble.
random, i know!
Thanks for some brain food. Don't always find that on these journeys.
A great message - you're very clever with your use of words ;)
again, brilliant, food for thought ... and wonderful message.
Just Beautifully done!
Obviously Outstanding!
Well done!
Outstanding! I love the flow and rhythm of the piece.
I have a few favorites every week and yours is one of them! OUTSTANDING!
I hope to never miss your post each Thursday. They are so wonderful.
Good Objective!
You're genius, Polly! You fit in so many "Os", and your poem speaks in great volume!
Overwhelmingly Obvious that now I will have to go back and find your previous letter posts!
So much depth her, Polly. Your work has really been "meaty" lately. Thanks for sharing your heart.
Fun! Have you ever read ee cumming's
oDE?

I loved it x))
really awesome!
What a wonderful poem...does this type of thing flow from you naturally or do you work hard to come up with this? I love to write poetry and haikus...sometimes they flow and sometimes not...Super post...peace and blessings...jeff
Your obviously outstandingly talented when is your book coming out
Oh, what a delightful poem using so many o's. Great job.
Beautiful Polly. A little disappointed you didn't use the "O" word we would have used:) I could never have done that...amazing. Holly
You like Obamas action figure? lol it's like an obscene image rather than an ominous one.
Wow... This is a very thoughtful and insightful piece of alliterated poetry. What do we do with those thoughts that haunt us? I really like your olive branch and acknowledging the pain response. They are real and there, but then can become a part of the past and make us stronger. There is a lot to be said for the renewal of our minds. For putting off old destructive thoughts and putting on new beautiful thoughts of our true identity.
ooh, nice use of O words
O how talented you are to construct this Ode to a myriad of emotions. Lots to think about here...
Best wishes,
Natasha.
What wonderful work you've done with the letter O! I admire your use of O words by making such a lovely flowing meaningful poem:) Look forward to more!
Your poetry continues to amaze me. What a gift you have. And thanks for being my personal respiratory therapist! I appreciate you taking the time to do that. I will be asking the doctor about your suggested diagnoses.
Oh ... that was amazing! :) Great writing, outstanding O post.
