Flattery Poems

Full Flattery

It is you I am seeking for frost,
the icy balance to my flame;
Flow flickers into wildfire,
anchoring you to me;
Waltz of opposites,
full flattery 
will upend
any  
girl.

Situations

Flattery lightens the mood 
and turns black roses pink, 
while hearts get carried away 
when love is expressed in ink.
Sweet words when acknowledged 
will make your mind blink, 
but a pure soul 
when duly ignored 
in sadness it will sink. 

Cheerful the heart would be 
enduring its lovers pain, 
and gloomy the mood would be

The Flattered Is the Battered

I hold it quite tattered
To have someone flattered,
All the time, some John mattered:
Such Johns are soon scattered!

Many still call me 'Prof',
Thank God some would just cough,
Saying it in a voice rough
Shows of being The Gruff...

Then failed is flattery
And charged my battery
While I dare mystery
Far from the jittery...

Then, the oft flattered
Is the oft battered.

Seeking Flattery of the Crowd

Like a deadly drug, it makes us dance
Put our nose in the air, turn our backs .
Craven souls, want another chance.
Walking over friends, we call hacks?

On, yes we sign, love, but mean it not!
How many trophies can I win ~ I want!
More flattery, please, as we do begin,
On this racetrack of pride,self loved sin!

Classical poets

Imitation Is the Sleaziest Form of Flattery

Flies buzz
    mosquitoes sting
  I try to whack them
    they both have wings

  Audiences roar
    Politicians sing
  The media attacks them
    They duck the arrows, the slings

Flattery

Speaking the truth is difficult 
that's why everyone practicing flattery!-
they said

But I said-
Flattery is most difficult than speaking the truth!

They asked. how?
I replied-
To be flatterer need huge diplomatic shrewd knowledge
where to be the truth need naturalness in character!

Chef's Special

There was an old sauce chef from Killarney, 
    Whose Irish stew, was flavoured with blarney.
    While he quaffed bottles of hock,
    That was infused with shamrock.
    Which spiced up his special bouquet garni.

Can We Assign Regional Gauges For Flattery

Assign region flattery gauges?
Silly but let’s try anyway.
The Scottish slather it on.
The Germans withhold it.
It’s Irish blarney.
Overindulge
Compliment
Praise

Plaudits

As the blazing king from far eastern horizons 
Glows and smiles on wee infant toils beneath, 
He's by man's ever-sprawling greeting praised, 
Basking in vast kudos by eyes and bared teeth.

The new sovereign savors every regal sign 
As he arcs past the virgin noon's latent line, 
Unwilling to pause despite cloud-born snags, 
Undeterred by jealous

No One Ever Wore It That Way Before

Well done, she said. 
Smiling her biggest smile.
I have never seen anyone else wear it like that!
There are other ways to wear a skirt?
On a head? Or a shoulder perhaps?

You should buy it! She sang out gleefully.
It looks great! Another stranger told me.
Turn around! The other one said.
I pirouetted, in front of the three-way.
A stranger

Violation of Body Electric Beyond Flattery Where Victimhood Prevails

a sudden Bonanza viz sexual abuse among 
faux Green Acres within Mayberry RFD
now spells showtime for The Avengers, Batman 
and Robin to Get Smart
take to heart (what haint no new bob bing beast), 

those perpetrators to forsake their Good Times
yet, who determines what constitutes, and how to differentiate 
mere kibitzing from unwanted overtures
though most people

Imitation Is the Sincerest Form of Flattery, So Don'T Sue Me, Wallace Stevens

I know what a poem
looks like.

I know how to make
my prose look like verse.

A little tuck here,
an indent there,

et voila! It’s verse! 
or worse ...

a pale imitation of seem.
(can I have some ice cream?)

Esteem and Flattery

Respect sets the stage for love’s serge.
Where, esteem and flattery merge.
Infatuation births passions.
Self worth overcomes excitements
And casts off mundane enticements.
Integrity stays emotions.
Respect sets the stage for love’s serge.
Where, esteem and flattery merge.
Hold firm to dreams of tomorrow.
Meet not emotional sorrow.
Infatuation births passions.
Integrity stays emotions.
Respect sets the stage for love’s serge.
Where esteem and flattery merge.
