To Flatter my Delicate Arms - Sara Kendrick's contest

        Suitors lined up, hoping to court me 
           Promising plethoras of pleasure
           Tantalizing, teasing hints of treasure
        To move my

Where Shadows Flatter Despair

No– shadows do not love
the angles of your face.
Reflection in a cage;
the mirror— enemy
in atmosphere of age,

no.. shadows do not love
the smoother skin of youth.
Your worries; furrow wears,
a trench where troops retreat,
—accumulated years.

No! shadows do not love
mascara and soft light;
distracts from sense of time
and wishes drowned in wells…
damn clock’s incessant chime—

no, shadows do not love

Flatter Down

With your mouth to stop my sleep
I be as silent as the grave
Cheek by jowl
I hunger for the truth
unlike this silent appareil
that devoids the last  spiders return

Mediocre We Must Not Flatter

Mediocre we need not flatter
With laurels on a cheap platter:
Hero’s Effort make a matter;
A dropped metal’s heavy clatter…

“What is right” we foully batter
And Future Foundation scatter,
When save we just can The Latter 
And ensure True Victory later…

Mediocre we must not flatter:
On our clothes staining mud spatter;
Problems feed and they are fatter,
Tires allowed to be flatter...

Butterflies Make Me

Butterflies make me
Shiver
And speachless. 
My mind freezes, 
My blood flows backwards. 

Butterflies make me
Quiver
And breathless. 
My being astounded, 
My faith questionable. 

Butterflies make me in
Flatter
And break hearts. 
My selfish desires satisfied, 
My heart left to joy. 

Deep in my stomach 
They fly and never stop, 
They laugh till they shed tears, 
They love but for

Flatter Me Not

You seek to guile me
with poisoned words
corrosive flattery
whispered
softly
with a vipers tongue

Do Not Flatter Me

Please, do not try to flatter me
with those capricious words you speak,
perspicuous but inurbane...
their undercurrent, quite oblique.

They may seem kind to you for sure;
beneath, though sweet, alienate
with mean, malignant metaphors
that make the sugar dissipate.

I will not be your sought scapegoat
and gravitate to cunning words;
with meanings so transitory...
they're swished away like flocks of birds.

Number 2:

FLATTER



Watch that extra sweet tongue
That curls and swings and stirs
Sweetening the high strung
In clever touch that spurs

don't flatter yourself
you stand massive
