Behaviour Poems - Poems about Behaviour

National, Not Tribal
As some Indians (dot, not feather) go to great lengths to ingratiate themselves by obsequious behaviour (bob your head if you agree with me) could it be the origin of the expression, 'To curry favour'? Tho' hunger knows no bounds forget the fatted calf despite the nation suffering from starvation by more than half they'll curry a horse but not a cow those bovine ungulates are holier than thou ...

Are My Poems Somewhat Corny?
I speak in parables and occasionally tell lies, Holy scriptures housing flames as rolling papers, Spent a few nights eating nothing but salt from shakers. Used to pray for the light but now disrespect favours, Pay off my therapist when I need a compliment on my behaviour. Yeah, Sugar crystal bites and a diet of capers, When...

All work ethics and human virtues, he hoards for twenty-five years, he has never stepped on mud in him, civil service has a lord every signboard shows he’s a man of his word against financial crimes, his clothings include a sword the spectrum of his fans is nowhere near broad and has rejected any pen that has written fraud. ...

Premium Member The Wrong Landlord
On one’s ability, nothing wrong to confide needless gratification, glory hunting is wide chances of victory from a one-man army divide. Resilience that is bloated will be swallowed by the tide seeking attention is their life, on a horse it rides to condescend and to look down also riding side by side. High-level difficulty to follow a guide adopting modesty and quiet,...

I didn't know what to say. For once in my life, I was quiet. I stood there, nails digging into my palms, it stang; Eyes too, tears reflect what they see; Tinnitus, blood rushes up above, defies gravity. I couldn't say what I wanted to. The lights, with a thud they jump on; Right on me, here My lips quiver, It's hot, my...

Unlearned behaviour
Won't get back up. I'm done learning how to fall. All this being overlooked. Has made me feel so small. It's my own fault. No longer breathe a word. Silence speaks the loudest. All else goes unheard. It's only human. To Temper our fragility. Beating each other to death. To prove invulnerability. It's so easy. Dont allow the unexpected. Those perfect aren't misguided. Therefore aren't to be corrected. Don't waste time. Forget...

Premium Member Bad Behaviour
She smiles and considers the crowd, all backward somersaulting detached vagabonds, all, serious soft smalls revealed - marshmallows imbued with the glee of writing irregular poetry; works of art thou art, thou art, thou art, all indeed - and what did Dickinson say, “the Maples never knew that you were coming - I declare, how red their faces grew” - well, we all march on, and...

Today of all days I am dividing my tears into sections, With each moment, with each tear drop and snuffle I makes The paper tissues will always thread, crumbling signs some mishaps in life surely, cannot be mended; Yesterday was your birthday, Today it's my revelation, of life, (my life) It...

Premium Member OVERCOMING JANUS' FACED BEHAVIOUR
Attacked by Janus-faced complexity My mind responds with functionality To present either sheer timidity Or self-entitlement tenacity. Gripped with hypocrisy’s duplicity I succumb to boastfulness-dignity In striving for victorious verity Achieving, though blown by futility. Then, playing safe midst glad security My conscience settles for “low” identity Yet, that is not true in actuality Since I’m drowning into dishonesty. Frailty hides behind pride’s integrity Such is human nature’s...

We Don't Approve, You Know
We don't approve, you know. Approve of what? The folk who go to London, or who don't The folk who get the flowers out, or not The folk who want to queue, the folk that won't We don't approve, you know, of folk who hold Up posters, or who protest in the crowd Refuse to bow down low before the gold Or...
