Momma's Pretty TSF

She spends
no end
of hours
choosing
new shoes
and skirts.                 
She’s svelte.

Her ‘friends’
all send
flowers
and rings    
and booze.
Her flirts              
would melt

the pope’s
blasé.
She’s out
each night
till two.
When she

Insightful Praise of a Pretty Little Liar

Chiaroscuro ballerina,
Rond de jambe in chaînés
Jeté, jeté
Grand jeté

Mariana Victoria,
Your Seiren eyes speak in
Adamantine lies
Forbidden apple gates

Amina Afrikana,
Runes enjambed in chains
Adamantly denying
Grand opries

Bloomeria guro,
Your six-petaled cries sing
"Beaujolais, beaujolais!"
Forbidden pomegranates

Premium MemberRaindrops On Roses

Raindrops on roses last night,
what a storm it blew.
My garden got a great bath,
looking clean and new.
Roses wanting sun,
their faces are shining up.
Rose garden is done.

Premium MemberI Am PINK

As the sun sets in the evening sky,
the pretty blue turns pink.
Oh my,
I am pink for the clouds to drink.
 

The moon must go to bed,
the sun must come out to play.
Marshmallow clouds meet the sun's rays,
I am pink showing off this new day.

Not for the Pretty Things

I try to write of tulip skies,
but my pen finds the shadows first.
I want to speak of beauty,
 but my tongue can’t carry the weight…  -dishonest-

I try to sing of lilac air,
but every note becomes a bruise,
a wound that pretty things can’t use. 
The air becomes…  -suffocating-

The easy things…
finding laughter in wind chimes,
they

Is it really hatred or something much deeper?

They told me I was pretty for a black girl
But if that is the case
You want me to interpret that as being special
That out of every black girl
Im the exception
To your pre conceived perception
To how you view a black woman

The only way to take it
Is as an insult
Black women are beautiful
But your attitude isn't
And when

Premium Memberpretty brick a brack on the old shack

Pretty brick-a-brack on the old shack
across the porch all the way to the back
delighting Zack who has a design knack
next to the door was a fire place plaque

I looks like rickrack said my cousin Mack
There was no slack, or any décor lack
The fine snack served seemed a bit out of whack
I kept one of these

Premium MemberIt's PRETTY Simple

If You Want To
Understand People:
Read All Their Thoughts
Down To The End.

All To All Doubts,
Challenged Throughout,
Spun, Spinning Down
While It Spins...

HEY! WHERE'D YOU GO!

If You See That,
THEN
That's What It Means.

Mooning

I knew a young girl
just a pretty face
who lost her mind
in outer space
with a celestial body
decidedly racy
out of this world
but totally spacey
not quite the brightest light
it's true (but what a view) and yet
when gazing at the moon
turned loony... a space cadet
and 'twas the lunar orb
(waxing, waning, new or blue)
of that there's no doubt
whose gravitational pull
simply

Pretty
Is a concept
You'll never 
Understand

If you think 
I see you
Through endeavours
Of the hand

I love
You make the effort
Appreciate
Your style

I love you
Past the surface
Just deeper
All the while

You paint
Just like a rainbow
With hues and shades
And stuff

Yet beautiful 
Has found you
Already
You're enough

She's the Rizz

"Cake and Jingle"
Written by
Aria Sooth wants
And
"Groovy"  A. Staves


She's the "Glam"
Gotta say she's glamorous
Soothing and sexy
Charismatic
Yeah she's got charm

She's the "RIZZ"
You know what I'm saying
With style and class
With main character energy
I love her smile
You know she ain't playin
attractiveness
We all agreed 
she got that
Type of  popular appeal


The soft launch
We got something
Going on
New to you
She and
