Ostentatiousness Poems | Examples


Premium MemberOstentatiousness

Always unfold to reform,
Constantly matter: fluctuate, fail, and change,
Holy mills and enduring foundries,
A release of epitomes is occurring. 

I disclose that it is either you or I,
Or any known or unknown lady, gentleman, or state,
We are viewed as secure, wealthy, artistic,
However, roughly increase epitomes. 

The garishness fades,
Oblation determines the disposition of a genius,
Additionally as the efforts of a myth, a saint, or a warrior,
To create his pinnacle.

Every morally exemplary existence,
The units rallied and fled the enduring force,
Its apex is general,
irrespective matter how large or small the total is.
  
The eternal yearning,
On the view of the worn crests, 
newer, taller crests were constructed,
Field and chaos wage struggle,
The exemplar of the old cheer.

Sea Turtle

Subtle beak peeks, blowing through a reef’s ostentatiousness
Emerging from dark impervious depths, the need to breathe
Adept adaptation caught between the blues and greens of aqua 

Turtle spins in shelly quagmire where the sea and land consort
Ungainly gravity adheres, sands rasp of birth or death juju
Raking flippers grasp a slow, staid, trek, back to the water

Tortuous adversities unwind in the airy world fraught 
Leaving ablutions of the ocean with its weightless thrill
Emptied gasps fill, descending once more, to polish its brown mottle

Apprehension About Pretention

Pretention is a claim or an assertion 
of a claim to or about something.
Use of affection to impress; ostentatiousness.

Maybe he had made another pretention;
When done was with much apprehension;
Rather obscure,
Not very sure,
And all of this did depend upon intention.
