The Scene

He tried to put on a scene
Because the wig he wore was lime green
He sashayed about
Like a boastful peacock
He's now a high paid drag queen

Listen to poem:
Goliath, a boastful huge giant,

And David, a shepherd and pliant,

So he took a stone,

And crushed his head bone,

Then Israel roared like a lion.

Premium Member Cross Off

Love is kind
                    or is blind or maybe binds
Love is patient
       where is that gift purchased
Love's not boastful
             that crosses off most of mankind....

Ignoring juicy kindnesses loving marriageable newt offers possible
quick realistic solution, teaming united voices with xylophonic youthful zest.

Sinewed Fire

Youth's sure, sinewed fire of limb and gait,
Reside not long not tarries late.
The unetched silk of fair Morning's face
Dons so swift a different grace,
As boastful Dawn must e'er defer
To the granite reign of Time...

Boastful bosses 14

I’m as good an ear as ears go
If you tell me what I don’t know,
His finger firm on chest,
Looking the least modest,  
Boastful ever, said his ego.

Happiness

I see you boastful
walking with nose in the air
are you sure you’re most beloved?
are you a cake to humans?
look at your back and tell me
Is it as shiny as your face?
happiness, isn’t your pride bubbles?
bubbles in a baby’s basin?

Red Baron

Pink and yellow flowers;
Distinguished
And boastful
In their exuberating 
Colours, 

Braced themselves
On tender stalks
Of watery greens,

While Butterflies
Dressed as Red Barons, 
Hovered and hummed
And flapped
Their Scarlet wings 
Feverishly.

Boastful bosses 2

Initiative, nor ambition upfront,
Hire him, he’ll be good as my assistant,
I just want a workhorse,
Not one for the racecourse,
A pony’s oft good if not adamant.

Fine, there’s no ‘I’ in TEAM,
There’s ‘ME’-- he talked of him.
‘ME’ is present
In management.
He said, pride spilled from brim.

Day 3 the Neighbours Arrive

The grasses massaged our feet Till the hissers crawled beneath Such a boastful way to greet. The darkness reigned with silence Till the stingers made an entrance Such a pompous way to dance. It's about time we re-establish our dominance

Boastful bosses 1

There’s one thing of which I feel sure:
The goodness of no peer pressure.
That, year after long years,
I find for me no peers,
The boss said, peering in mirror.

Premium Member Walking Through Snow

How boastful the  way I rode a  sled
To flaunt my  gumboots as drag pads fled,

        I walked  through cold snow
        Fell off with pants low;

Exposing  my  hairy legs instead.



As I was Walking in the Snow  Contest

The Sacred Month

The blessed sacred month is here
Wake up, be enlightened, do not fear
The soul is again free from confusion

Raise your hands in prayers
Give away those boastful airs
And glimpse Almighty’s perfection

Boastful bosses 4

He’s ace performer, cream of cream,
But wait, do we have to tell him?
At best, give him some bread,
Butter may get to head,
Soon, we may have to kill his dream.

Boastful bosses 10

I sure love to agree with you,
With your idea from wildest blue,
I love to go along,
But then we’d both be wrong,
It’s better that I keep my view.

When I Am Silent

When I scream,
Do not listen.
When I judge,
Do not listen.

When I curse,
Do not listen.
When I ridicule, 
Do not listen.

When I am pitiful,
Do not listen.
When I am boastful,
Do not listen.

When I am silent,
Please listen.
