Oxygen is colorless, odorless and tasteless
It is the most plentiful of all the elements
Discovered by Carl Scheele in 1773
Joseph Priestly is given the credit however
Oxidation
Combustion
It doesn’t burn
Its only forms are as gas, liquid and solid
It can form bonds with almost all other elements
Except for flourine
Most common element in the Earth’s crust
Second to Nitrogen in the atmosphere

Air is Awesome!
The great element known as Oxygen
Is both colorless and odorless when
It is in its common form, which is gas.
Sixteen is close to its atomic mass.
It was described first by a Polish man.
By heating mercuric acid, you can
Find good Oxygen, “elixir of life,”
You cannot cut it with simply a knife.
It’s essential for life this element
It was named by somebody with an accent.
So don’t take for granted this awesome air,
For so much it gives, you should give a care!

Oxygen, Oxygen it’s in the air
Oxygen, Oxygen it’s everywhere
It can be used to cut through steel
It was discovered by Carl Scheele
Ya it was back in 1774
But its not like it came knocking at his door
Priestly is given all the credit but what can we say
It’s not like we voted on it anyway
What are its uses, there are too many to remember
But it’ll help you make a fire in the middle of December
Oxygen’s so popular it got friends in masses
It’ll even combine with the noble gasses
I know you can’t see it or smell it but its there
And this thing’s supposed to keep us alive
Now that’s a real scare

oxygen,
a gas, no color, no taste, no smell
it is in favor in all of Earth
Breathing oxygen through the lungs
feeling the in depth feeling.
oxygen,
so posonous, but yet so right
a necessity that drives you wild inside
burns the soul within
glowing brightly into a burst of flame
oxygen,
just pure oxygen
natural and deadly
flowing in the body with a constant stream
that combines in favor to release enefgy
oxygen
a gas,an ash, an acid
shaken up in water
as a heated substance
that bubbles and stinks |

Element poem
There once lived a man that loved copper
and even lived to save nickels
He thought of platinum as a cheap piece of jewelry,
but gold as priceless piece of fortune
He loved Neon because of the great lighting
He loved Cerium even more for its rare lighting
He used to think oxygen was something to save
And Helium was something harmful that were put into
Balloons
He loved to drink lots of milk to get more Calcium
To take off the Chromium on his car
And used Aluminum to wrap many things with
Iron to him was the best piece of metal
He used to think that chlorine was what made the pool
Blue
He also thought that sulfur wasn’t all that deadly
But Arsenic was much worse

I HATE OXYGEN AND YOUR SITE SUCKS |
By ERIC WAMSLEY |

Oxygen
not the channel
but the breaths i take
essential to life, as much as love is
if i could have only two things in this world
to be filled at a lifetime supply
it would be two things i already have
love
and Oxygen |

Oxygen about 21% of air,
And we can’t even see you’re there!

"Love is like Oxygen,
You get too much, you get too high,
not enough and you're gonna die,
Love gets you high..."

Oxidation
I remember
your neon lit eyes
and calcium-rich smile
How I burned bright -
sodium-yellow in your fire
and you turned strontium-crimson in mine
Oxygen sustains life, they said
then why did our iron-clad love
become just flaky rust
when exposed to their
life-giving oxygen? |

You nauseate me
with necessity.
Ambulance sirens,
and cute EMTs.
Get it off of me please!
The air is sickening.
The air is thickening.
It’s asphyxiating me.

Oxygen
Breath after breath
Sinking deeper and deeper
Bated, waiting
For something to push it along
The heart catches in the throat
Laced with air, laced with living
The promise of life
The promise of loving
The thinning of my skin
Tinged with blue, marked by you
A body alive and filled with oxygen
Overflowing with blood
Overflowing with you

An unseen blanket
in which we dance...
a gift of the gasp,
filling us with unspoken light...
and finally leaving us
in that quiet, final night. |

Oxygen
Breathed in deeply threw my nose
Filling my lungs
Captivated into my blood
Flowing threw my veins
Oxygen
Blown against my choked eyes on a blustering day
Sweeping around me in a wisp of wind threw my coarse hair
Helps me quench my aching thirst
Assists to cool my body on a scorching day
Oxygen
Feeding the fire that keeps me warm
Tailors my heart to a smooth beating
Remedies my sour thoughts
Provides me with life day after day
|
By Ellen Sulzycki |

Ode
You are the ubiquitous
You fill my every ounce of blood
My heart can’t beat without you
You remove the stale and noxious from me
Make me pure in this world of impurity
Without you everything is immaterial
As you kindle the fire
Make go our thirst
You are like a protector to me
Masking me from your obnoxious fellows
Don’t ever go,
Otherwise I will suffocate to death

jeg tager en tår
af den friske luft
så dejligt jeg det får
det er det rene fornuft
Jeg er under vandet
men jeg kan ikke mere
jeg må op til landet
for at samle lidt mere
hvis du tager to h'er
og et enkelt O
så danner du åer
for H2O den er go'
Vi kan ikke leve uden
den dejlige luft
man kan få det igennem tuden
og det bringer den dejligeste duft.
Så Oxygen, ja den er fin! |

Oxygen
The stale breathing
Of a new day
Exhaled poisons
Air has not
A refuge in me
And now
I do not miss
The in's and out's
Of oxygen |
By Megan Fales |

life removed
I've taken you away from them
What will they do now?
They gag and choke on their own contradictions
They can't breathe
All they can do is collapse
Dead
Alone |
By Miranda |

Oxygen
All this dirty air inside my lungs
Cannot breath
Sufforcated soul
Cannot escape
But you return
And my life returns
My oxygen
Removing the blanket above me
Helping me see as I stumble
Blindly swaying away
Fresh and wonderful
Giddy with joy
But oxygen runs out
And the darkness returns |

Oxygen
our life force
channels through us
through our veins on course
bring life, love, lust.
there's a feeling of power
as we breathe, be part of
the rest of the universe,
through this O2,
I myself renew. |

OXYGEN
one of whom origin owes
without no fire glows
no water forms
lost drop jewls
the elemental lonliness ensues
compounded failure of unformable forms
what is amphoteric, acidic, basic hues
without oygen ions?
a monochrome rainbow
take it
all alone and breathe
its plain flavour or add
the spice from the table
periodic-ally.
the central dough and its components
stir
wait
watch
creation rise. |

Oxygen
Why do humans cut down
our source for living?
To build useless things.
But what ever happened
to the Earths forest's?
What will happen when all
the trees are gone?
Will we die,
Will we survive
Or will we be strong enough
to help are planet make oxygen |
