Pretentious Poet
A ring on my phone,
From my lady Maria!
And I answer,
Happy to hear her.
"My lady Maria,
I've missed you so dear!"
"It's been less than a day,"
"Practically a year!
Have you read my leaden notebooks,
And the spirals of my love?
And the way-"
She cuts me off,
A cruel shove.
"My love, your words are like jewellery,
That lie dormant on my neck,
They

No, Pretentious Heart
No, pretentious heart...
you judge me unfairly,
I've stood by you until now;
people don't change quickly!
of regret leaves² a mark, it's guilt...
and it won't allow tomorrow
to offer us the joys we deserve,
instead, it tickles a nerve!
I love being in love, being spoiled,
I don't mind being a puppet
of your most extreme fantasy:
that's what makes me happy!
I stare

Pretentious Flask
The calmness of my head,
Is gut-wrenching, instead.
These vicious lights around,
Are making my heart pound.
Those blazing speaker is happiness for seeker,
But their happiness is making me weaker.
Those crickets screaming around,
Telling the story which was never told aloud.
The bustling streets and car's screech,
Predicting the story which is meant to preach.
Those gleaming households, filled with love and laughs,
Are

A Memoir of Pretentious Love
Never have I imagined
I'd get lost in a labyrinth
In search for first attempt
I got hypnotized
I didn't realize
You feed me lies
Never have I imagined
Our story will not last
I can't help but wonder
Why your love has to wander
You left mine heart in a jiffy
Like your path and mine never crossed
The reality I tried to accept
You sow nothing

Pretentious Poem 2
Blackened cubes of naturality stomache across the pains of a million screaming faces
Crushed by the weight of two ton pound horsehell and drowned in the unthoughtfulness of the moon's cruel disregard towards the emotions of the ground-up grime of the Earth.
Her circular orbit brings punishment towards the agony and despair of crying mothers
Wailing and screaming

Pretentious Poem 1
Boiling shells crack down hard upon raining rooftops
None doth any apparitional material cover upon her arrogant gift
She hast not laid down upon her last upstanding
Glass convails images of the inconceivable
Throwing away the Sun in blackened sickness
No guilt, no shame,
Unfeeling the inevitable eternal despisement
Swarms choking the insides with a blanket
They whisper in

Being Pretentious
Being Pretentious
By: Tom Wright
7/11/2019
It seems some peoples nature is to be ostentatious,
Because God put on earth those of every kind.
While this type of person is apt to be fallacious,
When beyond my vision they’re off my mind.
“Sometimes those who don’t socialize much aren’t anti-social,
They just have no tolerance for drama and fake people.”
(Quotes and

Pretentious Garden
Lush pretentious garden sculpts to be gleaned.
Fullness of repose with sweet quiet sound,
fruitful, and forbearance draw nature's ground.
The sensuous feel, oft seasons has seen.
Butterflies noiselessly stir round fragrant
sweet allure angel's tears; with airy grace
scatter elsewhere to perennial space.
Ants, beetles, and birds herald, spring vagrants.
Wind nimble bend forth, leaflets surrender
mere fragrance in its resilience breath span,

To the Danse Macabre
It’s closing in,
The harmonic melody,
It’s tone deliberately grim.
As a one-time melody, it is heard by all.
A familiar, yet unfamiliar ring.
For the majority - its tune is distance.
But like all those before, I can hear it-
I can hear it from deep within.
It’s seduction.
Always terribly well-advantaged,
Overpowering,
Never once balancing.
From a figure showing us from within, it gives a

Pretentious Tone
If the link is weak
You know the chain won't be strong
If the table is bare,
Don't make it look like we're having a feast
When you're hugging the most
Don't cry that you have the least
When your greed becomes a creed
Then it becomes your religion
Don't tell me I'll fail
When I'm yet to try
If you tell me a lie
Don't

Pretentious Friend
YEAH just walk away, Rene
I don’t need you anyway
to know if this was meant for YOU
you'll question in your mind.
I always thought that you were cool
until you made me out the fool
you clenched the doubt when you sold out
Pretending to be kind
Was I just blind or too naïve
to see what you had up your sleeve?
You

Pretentious
I shared my florid words
about our torrid love
with an ardent lover,
who exclaimed propitiously
that they were astonishing;
then solicitously,
she asked me to elucidate,
how did this prestidigitation occur;
from whence did I extricate
these words of exultation,
these harmonic chords of verbiage,
that resonated so intimately
with her psyche.
When the real question is:
how did they find
