Arrogance In 6 Lines

Just scored a wonderful goal with attitude burning so much coal an Emperor’s lifestyle, exaggerating one’s status viewing all others as small as fetus carrying ears as horns just like the owl but his ashes will disappointingly not reach half a bowl

You even mention my name in your poem. What is best about arrogance is when it inspire to write poems that end up inspiring others to write poems. The status of a beautiful clematis is interesting. If a wise old owl you will never throw in the towel, but continue to fly into the branches higher so for others to write poems can inspire. While much higher and giving a hoot wrote poems for others that them will suit. Jim Hornn

Arrogance is not an attractive quality, it is odd the most arrogant people usually love the lime light, a crowd to brag to but it has the opposite affect, most people stay far away from them. Thanks so much for wading through my crown sonnet. Light & Love

Our society seems to have a lack of humility. We do well to demonstrate it's value to our children. I enjoyed your poem.

It is always great to be proud of who you are and what you do, but there is a line that leads to arrogance, and it is easy to cross, unfortunate and so, too much pride does not make happiness grow. Thanks for sharing your write :)
