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

The Unseen Bloom
Like a lone flower
in the silence of still air—
a graceful young girl,
modest in her quiet glow,
unseen by the insecure.

Veiled in Light
She blooms in still air,
where no footsteps dare to pass—
a shadow in light,
veiled in modesty and grace,
unclaimed by trembling hearts.

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

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

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
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
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
