Compliment Acrostic

Chiseled face from Cliffs of Moher
On Keyboard slender fingers prance
Mastery, knowledge daily Growing
Lonely for so many years
Inner world you do embrace

Meticulous diary for keep
Enya Brennan;s eyes enriched with glow
Noting if those are worth
Through numerous heaps

Premium Member Sunset Compliment

A pallet of complimentary colors 
of orange and purple phase, grays at the edge of night
a fog muffled melding of light like no other 
behind the Golden Gate bridge between spans held tight,
seaside we wait for this fourth of July delight.
And as the tangerine dollop of day descends
the sparklers of children, and bright bottle rockets blend 
with the cascading chrysanthemum fireworks 
a surreal sunset baths the bay at day ending 
highlighting all San Francisco's marvelous quirks.

Premium Member A Compliment

The cat drug me in from who knows where. 

 I look like a ball of knotted hair. 

 You compliment, and then stop to stare 

 at who? What? Here? There? 

 Is see maidens around much more fair. 

 Your taste in beauty is au contraire. 

 You must like the unsightly, the rare. 

 Thank you for your sympathy and care.

Surprise : Compliment Contest

A compliment I was sent
Was waiting in my soup mail
What a surprise from a gent
Made my day I must prevail

Your beauty is overwhelming
Hmm he even spelt it right
Hope the nerve endings in his teeth
Didn’t keep him awake at night

Didn’t think my Bio picture
Would have this dire effect
I would like to say “Thank You”
It was quite a compliment.

Premium Member Bird

,,*** BIRD — ***       part one

Bird, 
Furiously flapping, eager to rise…

Here…Take your flight 
Through the warm air 
Of my heart,

I catch how 
Our sights are
Cast eye to eye —

Yours watch into mine;
And my own keep a busy 
Witness of yours  
  With my intent 
To compliment the presence
Of evident light reflecting
In the specks so vibrant-white,
Glistening at the heights 
Of those golden irises 
In your spirited eyes,
Aiming to soar through the boundless sky;

While I remain here for my drawing out
And setting down feathered lines
About the how and why
It is to know such a bird
As you, pausing in my human hands

For these brief minutes
We own together ~

Bird, ready for your flying on 
Through a changeable atmosphere 
     in Freedom;i
While I, finding a vision in those wings, those eyes,
Feel moved to reach
      for Beauty,

' the Cowboy's Compliment ... ' (Cowboy Poem # 4)

Now, Early from Young Womanhood
I Owe A Cowboy, My Confidence
Seems Nobody, Can Build A Woman Up
Like A Cowboy’s Compliment

… I Was On My Lunch Hour
While Working At A Bank Downtown
I Went To Piccadilly’s Cafeteria
… got Line-Selection and Sat Down

They Say, ‘You Never Know Who’s Looking’
And I Can See, That’s True
And I’m Gonna’ Give You Proof
By What Those Two Cowboys, Did Do …

The Piccadilly’s Was Full
‘Cause There Was An Oil-Show In Town
Two Western Hats and Suits Passed My Table
One Tall-Blue, and One Tall-Brown

And One, Picked Up My Ticket
Don’t Remember Which, (It Was A Quick-Draw)
I Was Busy, Sugaring Tea
Shiny-Boots Passing, Was All I Saw …

It Took A Moment for Mild-Shock, to Go
Realizing I Had No Menu-Ticket
‘Til One of Them, At The Register, Pointed At Me
and Paid … That’s Why They Picked-It

Now, I Had An Office-Outfit On
And, I Didn’t Think It Was All That …
But Obviously, My Suit, Hairdo, and Polished-Heels
Inspired Them To Pick Up The Check …

Now, They Didn’t Try To Flirt
They, Didn’t Say A Word To Me …
Just Walked Out Into The Texas Sunshine
Handing Me A High-Noon-Flattery …

And Since from My Young Womanhood
I Often Smile At Those Cowboy’s Compliment
And Ain’t Nobody Been Able To
“ Tell Me, I Ain’t All That – " Sense “  ! !

               (LOL)

          A True Tale …

The Compliment

My fashion sense, to be quite kind
Is sometimes difficult to find
But I do still hope for a compliment
From a well-dressed, handsome, discerning gent.

On my morning walk one summer day
I was feeling low I have to say
Broad-brimmed hat a little quaint
Fashion plate it certainly ain't

I passed a buff and muscled chap
In standard backward baseball cap
He looked at me and took me in,
Gave a big encouraging grin

Called out loud "I like your hat"
Just like that!
I broke out in a huge, huge smile
And cheerfully walked an extra mile.

Compliment of Your Love,

You are mine, my tune is also you.
You are the only me in the songs.
You are my first wish,
And you are my last page.
Out of the heart feeling, 
You are the only one secret heart.
You are settled in my breath,
and you are mine in my eyes.
Night is mine, my day is yours,
from heart to life you are too,
Say whatever you talk about,
You are her voice,
My tune and tone,conflate you.
You are my Majesty,
You are also my secret,
Those who live in me?
They are my life now.
Flowers are mine and colors are yours too.
In my everything is you are.

Premium Member Left Handed Compliment

My boss asked me how old I was today.
When I told him I was 60 he said, "No Way!"
"Tomorrow I'm putting you on a lighter work detail," to me he told.
"I had no idea that you were so frigging old."

Premium Member The Compliment by Max Burchett

by Max Burchett

Lots of flattery and L.A. handshakes given,
But once upon a time, actually just last year,
A seemingly casual compliment was for me heaven,
One I will always remember.

Though I kept it to myself,
Not sure the reason for that,
Yet sometimes I think about it.
A great man said to an audience, some I knew,

“If I were in a battle,
I would want Max and his brother
In the foxhole with me.”
Although perhaps better said about another.

Yet, when I think it might be better
To give it up, just let it be,
Then I remember, January to December,
That comment about me.

Maybe it is that saying about woman and man,
I am what I think
Others think
I am.

If that is what someone
Of his stature thinks of me,
That is what I must be,
Rather, I must somehow make it be.

Compliment

More time we spent,
More I know your legit.
Your goddess beautiful, angel 
pretty,and these are more than 
compliment.
You make me wanna change 
every bit.
Half of the time I'm at work
Or with my friends, 
But I want to be with you 
hundred percent.
I would hate to be you, no 
disrespect.
All eyes on you and all lies in 
your ear that the world sent.
I hope the bad messages you 
never get.
I know I'm getting off topic,
But if this was a draft you 
would be my number one pick.
I know your girl's say "I play 
games and tricks."
I'm a man,
Not a little boy that is sick.
I'm trying to move slow not 
quick.
Faster you go,
Faster you sink the ship-Mario

Compliment Or Insult

She wasn’t sure
If he had paid her
A compliment or an insult,
When he patted her posterior
And called her a bubble butt...

Wikipedia states: "Bubble butt" has at least two connotations, which are at odds with each other: either a small, round and firm pair of buttocks resembling a pair of soap bubbles next to each other, or a large rear end, seemingly about to burst from the strain.

We Compliment Each Other

On the surface we oppose each other. You all “regimented and me all “dreamy”.
But if we are “devoted “ to each other….Oh Boy! It sure is “steamy”.

I’m  going to let it work out at it’s own pace.  “We” are going to take our sweet 
slow time and run this race - 
	Because, it’s going to take some a-while to learn each other style 
and gain each others grace.

Even with you wanting to be dominating and flip. Difficult reactions are all I seem 
to get- you forget-
	Fulfilling your  needs are all I want to do.  With True compassion, I 
dedicated myself to you - now 	and for ever.
We, being of opposite elements and all…My water to your earth, We Compliment 
Each Other.

As we fuel each others fire- in passive ways, we find comfort in our sharing of 
each others days, through our thoughts, ideas, and spirit. I find comfort in you.  
Simply said “ We Compliment Each Other
