Corpus Coloso! You delectable
O-shaped reading, punctuated with r’s
Resigned receding, luscious with l’s
Royal languishment of haughty despair...
My love. I have searched many minutes for
Your erstwhile meaning. I gleaned it encased
Emotions settled seating; to explore
Your face upon my computer I placed
My faith in technology. Wherewithal?!
Surely chaste truth of meaning cannot be
Within this unloving box, word’s death knoll
Ellipses scores of webbed search engine pleas…
Corpus, mine; coloso hides its feeling,
Where may I find its pure voice appealing?

:) My notation for the meaning of this phrase is 'emotional part of the brain', I thought it would make a great title. In lieu of writing about this fascinating concept because I cannot find its meaning, I elected to humorize my disgust with search pages.
If anyone can direct me to a definition/meaning, I would be grateful! It's possible it is misspelled. Still, I had no luck with several variations.
What will poets be inspired by next?
Of all things...search engines.
I enjoyed this.
