Best Standoffish Poems

Socially retarded and somewhat aloof I never knew what a true friendship was.
Not knowing how to play well with others growing into a young man.
I was 18 years old, washing dishes in that Chinese Restaurant, House of Lypan.
A dude came along, pretty tall and good...

A queen,
who quintessence should be felt
when making an entrance
leaving a distant, tactile memory
while her spirit leave a ambivalent
feeling on the mind of other queens
trying to figure out her personality
and class


A queen will never settle 
her luscious taste is superior 
like fine wine
the smell of her...

Beware those who are not,
A little bit bias.
Or a little bit pious.
A little bit selfish,
Or a little bit standoffish.
A little bit sexist,
Or a little bit racist.
A Little bit forlorn,
Or little bit stubborn.
A little bit lazy,
Or a little bit crazy.

Beware those who are not,
A bit of...

*Holly (Vault Dweller)*

Hey bartender,
Who's that girl over there,
The one nursing the whiskey in the corner,
She has that press hat one that makes her look...strangely debonair.

*Bartender*

That'll be our little Ms. Piper Wright,
She runs the local paper,
Spends all day looking for a story then types the rest...

As intuitive as my eyes are, it glows and brightens like a glittering star
The skilful tandem work of my rosy cheeks and pinkie lips stick out smiles eliminating sorrow.
My shape, from my skull to my phalanges, is just like that of a Coca-Cola bottle.
The bends,...

Now We Stand And Sulk


We were the two 
standoffish 
in a small pond.
One day, 
how I wished 
we got carried away,
to a rubbing 
of our fins and bellies, 
so fond.
Life would have smiled on good fate, 
a favorable life,
how my eyes belay.
Instead gloom frowned on...

I saw you last on your birthday.
When I proceeded to your room
to kiss you and give you my gift,
you were surrounded by all
of my siblings, except one,
who was in church services.
 
I do love you or I would not
have bothered to come and give
you a...

This is a story about Freddie and Flo,
They lived in Baltimore a long time ago.
It might be called a May-September romance
And shows how love can blossom if it's given a chance.
Flo taught Sunday School, her reputation was pure;
When asked his occupation, Fred said "entrepreneur".
Where he...

We revere our gorgeous snow queen 
She wears her ethereal regalia with purpose 
Many people shy away, totally intimidated
It is snow queen’s plan, for her heart is fragile
She has been terribly hurt; you can tell by her eyes. 
She is now purposefully frosty and standoffish,
So...

Accursed human species
case in point Vladimir Putin,
who strikes terror across globe.

Don't underestimate his hell bent
zeal to attack United States,
one blood sucking infernal
predacious *****sapien
mercilessly bullies, interrogates, 
threatens... with zeal.

Considerably less mortifying
constitutes wrathful ordeals
exhibited by adults who treat
thine wife with indecorous jibes
like punks who sat back...

Don’t judge me;
I know I appeared 
      to be so
    standoffish.
You pursued me
for a long time.
 You greeted me
 every day when
I came to your
  coffee shop.
 Sometimes you 
wanted to give me
   the...

She never meant to go down the hard roads that she did, 
it’s just how her life turned out.
She didn’t choose her story..
Her story chose her.
It’s been a tale of heartache and heartbreak,
falls and failures, struggle and loss.
But even more than that, her story is...

The sign on the cage read "CAUTION"
I thought, "hmmm..
"wonder who that belongs too?"
The receptionist seemed a bit cool
almost standoffish.
I paid the bill and asked
"so where's my kitty?"
She pointed at the caution cage
and said in a growly tone
"OVER THERE."
"The doctor says he'd appreciate it
if you didn't...

Kids and dogs tend to like me.
The kids because they sense
I haven’t grown up yet,
The dogs sniffing the essence
Of a long-lost puppy inside.

Adults seem to be more standoffish
Probably put off by my lingering puppy grin.
Eventually we find a common ground
As I have been defined as...

He was in love, deep, romantic love.
She was standoffish, aloof, above,
no need for pointless ideas thereof.
It was forbidden, like fox and dove.

His clay a gritty earthy mixture. 
Hers a sweet creamy marble picture
of comfort, a permanent fixture.
His secret love a proscribed stricture.

So he sat at...
