Premium Member The Demure Muse
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...

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...

Premium Member April - Breezy and Demure -
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...

Premium Member I Was Demure Once
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...

Towards the Dark Side
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...

Dawn Demure
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....

Premium Member Wild Pirate Woman Being Demure
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...

Ain'T You Demure
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...
