A Bloom Untouched
She blooms alone where silence holds the sky, A tender grace no daring soul has known. Her gaze is soft, her head is held so high— A queen within a quiet world, enthroned. No boastful light, no cry for passing praise, She walks beneath the noise, untouched, serene. Her modest charm outshines the sun’s bold rays, Yet fear keeps hearts from where...

Modesty
I'm bestowed upon you as a deeper shade of blue One that's bright to light up your every view Just allow me to show you my perception through the scopes lens A purer glass made from all of our mistakes, learned from experience Fortified strong from the sands of time And completed with ash, embers of pine So...

Satin Scrunchie
Modesty is not Dresses and scarves But action and thought Gentle and measured. I wear a satin scrunchie On my wrist, it reminds me I am fearfully and wonderfully made. There is strength in softness I do not hide the beauty of femininity. As my scrunchie is kind to my skin, So am I in word and action. I refrain from idle gossip And do not speak...

Premium Member Paraphrasing Mark Twain on Modesty
Modesty antedates clothes and will be resumed when clothes are no more. (Mark Twain) When Adam donned his fig leaf Was a sense of decency assumed. When sons of Adam Again find it cute To be comfortable In their birthday suit Will simple modesty be resumed. ...

Dust
Your hubris is exceeded only By your inordinate narcissism. You erroneously believe in your Immaculate perfection. You address your "inferiors" Condescendingly, In the mistaken belief that they ARE Your inferiors. You swagger and Strut about like a peacock In full display; Intoxicated by its own Beauty, Blind to its Marred, Scaly feet. Head held high, Eyes filled with disdain, Heart swollen with pride, Soul blemished by conceit. Oh, lowly creature! Moulded you are...

Premium Member Be Happy
Become a (wo)man of peace. Help the world, be content. It isn’t up to governments. Celebrate your free heart in grateful virtue and with modest speech. Soothe the ever angry, invite them in and dare trust; be proud equals not at odds. With new friends welcome, double joys by sharing, save the planet by being happy....

Modesty is no virtue when it comes to love. Love should be worn brightly~ daily! Nightly! Shouted loudly! – Boldly! Let love's many voices Sound~ Rebounding heart-felt joyful echos – Sing love's lovely delight! Shake the earth with together vibration; let the universe hear love's clear clamor – let fly amorous moon-beams – let stars' starry eyes open wide to the sweet dear call of comforting...

Modesty
What’s the problem do you suppose With the English Male and naked toes? It must be there deep in the mind But every year you will find Chalk white male legs on display At the merest hint of a sunny day. But try as hard as you might there’s scarcely a naked toe in sight; Perhaps they think the ladies shocked At sandalled...

The Poems We Didn'T Write
I The Poems I didn't write Are words that sit tight In throat, trials, every fight Between Beloveds II She told others but just not him His loving, living, quarreling Were poetry in motion, a ring Of words binding Finger, hand, heart III Imagine a world, a family, couples ... Who spoke the poems of life & love?...

Modesty where has it gone Does it no longer exist Are there no boundaries now Is morality on the blacklist? Everything on display For all the world to see Oh ,how times have changed In the world of modesty Young girls in early teens Dressed so scantily Unaware of the effect Of the message being perceived Some parents just not parenting No words of inappropriate dress No...
