Premium MemberMom's Perfect Aplomb

She was thin as a reed and straight as a stick
   her figure a pencil, a frail candle wick
Head bowed, she would walk the halls of high school
   shamed by firm-breasted girls, oh-so-cool

Yet her Mom stayed composed, an oasis of calm
   told her daughter, "Lay low now," with perfect aplomb
Fighting back tears, the young lady assented
   with her heart tied in knots, truly tormented...

Years passed, sure enough, the daughter had bloomed
   the most beautiful co-ed in any university room
Yet her Mom stayed composed, and with perfect aplomb
   reminded her daughter to remain very calm, for

  Beauty's only skin-deep; one's looks someday fade
     Life tests those fibers that are not ready-made

Meek words seek
Chimes bridge rhymes
Peak verse streak
Mime good times


Fate greets date
Light charms bright
State and slate
Sight moves flight


Brook fond looks
Pace deep trace
Book sure hook
Space kind face


Greet most sweet
Show that grows
Meet zest neat
Know peace flows


Zest words best
Way of play
Quest fuels fest
Stay of day

Here eye to eye
We meet in sighs
On a true high
On dreamy skies


Here with fine wit
We share warm bits
On a sure fit
Just where we sit


Here on a date
We prize dear fate
Early not late
Cuppa not late


Here by the breeze 
We feel love squeeze
Humour and sneeze
As time flings ease


Here in this place
We confront space
In lavish trace
With love our ace

Stand tall now,
Watch aplomb tell;
Frame knows how
As courage dwells.


Sit still here,
Wear good cheer fond;
Poise flings clear
In profound spawn.


Love sure peace,
Wit warms pure heart;
Set clear ease
As passion starts.

Curious wonder wakes
Lavish quantum stakes


Ample laughter shows
Lovely lasting flow


Cluster charming cheer
Witness mindful here


Precious poignant peace
Escape easy lease


Pretty playful plots
Treasure touching thoughts

On the way
Play
Rewards day


Watch crisp thought

Affirm lot


Feel each feel

Return thrill


Gain grand good

Dance dream sleep


Know your cause

Grace floods and fill
Soul's happy thrill


Feel light of grace
As joy grooms face


Seize this day now
Watch love show how


Hope in sure ease
Now funds wise peace


Cheer holds faith dear
As hope crafts spheres


Know in your heart
Art prompts true start


Aplomb can tell
Just how you dwell


Sync word and thought
As deed now plots


Time weaves all rhymes
In mimes and chimes


Yet in the end
Death kills all trends

At Least It's With Aplomb

At some time you must have met one,
an academic gentleman.
Though once a whippersnapper,
he's cultured, suave and dapper,
That mustache of his so pert,
his eye for a pretty skirt.
and then his neat bow-tie
which makes the ladies sigh.
He has such a winning way.
He always says 'Good Day.'
They say his grading's fair,
and, these days, that's rare.
He has one   nasty knack,
stabbing rivals in the back.
When he does someone wrong,
at least it's with aplomb.
Condemn his spite and bile?
Yes, but -  oh. my - what style!

Poise wears sure style
To cast fond smiles


Aplomb now books
A primal hook


Choice knows that face
In vivid trace


Charm simply shows
A feisty glow


Cheer gathers grace
To sketch fine trace


Aplomb sets wit
In ample fit


Poise knows a thrill
In how joy spills

Rainbow rays
Tints flood say
A well-lived day
Now rest and play


Aplomb knows style
In a sure smile
Mile after mile
A happy pile


Seek moments bright
In your clear sight
Where wisdom lights
Your happy flight


Now once again
Heed message plain
To court soul strain
As pleasure pains


Look deeper then
To a sure plan
In easy scan
For Yes you can

Rhyme follows rhyme
All in sure time


Finesse styles well
Pure charm that tells


Clear focus streams
Deep trance of dream


Speak words of grace
That thrills this space


Watch as time reaps
Myriad round trips


Chimes splurge with rhymes
Time after time

Live lovely lift
Glimpse glowing gift


Work worry well
Discrete dance dwells


Aim apt aplomb
Bright blessings bomb


Dive deeper dear
Frame frozen fear


Wear wonder well
True troubles tell


Be beyond brave
Scent story saves


Watch words weave way
Succinct sounds say


Bright blossoms best
***** quotient quests


See sense surround
Gain gifted grounds

Amidst bodies, I

With unknown aplomb, reaching sexual crescendo
He now lies spent, taken to the limits orgasmically, by she, me, naked I
