Best Demure Poems

    "Canvas of Demure Dusk"



Amber canopy descends
Twilight fades to dusk
Celestial heavens dream
In posh perfumed musk
Violet veil weaves
Mysterious essence glows
Moistens golden leaves.

See her See me in Artistry
A portrait reveals one’s secrets age-old
Eyes tell a story without being told.Quote - poets own.
I look into her eyes and find myself
Feel all the hurts that I have ever felt
A grown woman and beauteous she is
Her refinement captured by the artist.

A little wry smile, a glint in her eyes
What observer...

Ain't You Demure....Challenge


She rode in on a buckskin mare,
Tied up at Cote D'Zur
She sat down by a young cowboy -
He said "Ain't you demure."

She said,"My husband says 'lissome'-
And I prefer that tone."
He said," You're prob'ly cenosure,
But now you're all alone."

"I know you're tryin' for glamour -
You was an ingenue -
But there ain't no panacea
Just say...

How tenuous, how softly demure,
Sounds this interlude, which I trying to catch!
Like bereft of a sigh, non  formidable sketch
It is soaring around, immutably pure....

They say this shall pass too, 

But here I am standing in the never-ending queue, 

On a road reflecting an infinite path in my rearview.  

Slowly and slowly, it induces a demure attitude 

Giving up on your jolly side along with it too. 

Nothing is permanent under this changing blue 

Except the blurry future...

Butterflies dance in Autumn rain
they see only colors
and know not hidden pain-

Revered tears sayeth the sea
moonlit lace of what you were to  me
time is shadowed
encased in fear
but born again when you are near-

Oceans demure that ravage the heart
where sand and sea
doth never to part-

One as the river
that sings to the wind
touched by ones heart
that...

Je mourrais pour embrasser tes lèvres

demure propriety awaiting
mists uncover morning crest
arched along crimson tides

glances reflectively linger
last chances filling coffers
only pearls dare still sing

gentle waves wash
upward turns to heaven

Je veux embrasser vos lèvres 
scorch your name 
upon my naked soul 

find me in fluid drips
of your attention
simply holding_
holding on...

April – breezy and demure –
Make yourself at home.
I’ve kept some tea warm –
So glad you're here.

I heard that you'd visit;
The birds announced your arrival
By chirp and warble –
I’d been waiting for it.

I saw wildflowers in full flush
Arrive just ahead of you.
The bees buzz as if to say “hello”
And throng around the brittlebush.

Company is such...

I'm sitting like a fat gray cat in the sun,
watching my forest gently dance, 
The wind is barely breezing, 

The bird songs are the only sounds
I hear except for the running water
of my fountain and my wheezing.

I have cut my newest homemade pirate
shirt a bit too low.  Yes you can see my navel if
you...

Charlie recognized grandma's neighbor Teresa the instant she looked up.
He had not seen her for ten years, but he remembered her kindnesses.
When grandma passed he felt too miserable to play with her kittens.
Teresa took it upon herself to look after the tiny beasts.
She also talked her parents into letting her take them home.
Which alleviated a...

I was sedate once, dainty, delicate, demure, girly and feminine.
No you weren’t.
Sure, remember that day I wore the pink flowered dress?
And rolled in the mud with it? Yes, before I rolled in the mud.

I tried my fabrication on six more people.
They all knew me better. They clutched their sides and guffawed.
Some rolled on the floor...

Dawn Demure
Dawn December day.
Machine peacefully sleeps.
Slumber banished.
RAF pilot.
Spitfire!
Kept warm, mission time, Norway bound.
Snow, fjords, mountains.
Cockpit, aboard, checks,
rise, feathery clouds.
Recon.
Fine machine, woman.
Precision engine.
Exquisite cameras, spy on Nazi’s Christmas.
Thousand mile trip, freedom.
Gentle hearts, honest loving men.
Tirpitz photos, Whitehall desks.
Experts, delicately place,
five ton Tallboy bombs.
Lancaster love....

Quiet inspiration, a flickering flame,
A restraining hand with demure's acclaim.
Whispers of beauty, softly spoken with a sigh,
Belies the insight within that lifts the eye.

A demure muse, content to hide,
Modestly nurturing the wellspring inside.
No grand applause, no spotlight to glare,
Has the simply joy of creation to share.

In unpretentious grace, the muse remains,
Engaged in a demure and...

Azure demure 

All the ideas that you’ve wrote down before
Have been thought about a thousand times or more
I sit on the train and it’s late

After the money has fell through the floor
It seems there are only boards and a door
It’s lazy to think that and wait

Potential and reason becomes your allure 
I’m sure that I...
