Assign region flattery gauges?
Silly but let’s try anyway.
The Scottish slather it on.
The Germans withhold it.
It’s Irish blarney.

Complimentary Red Rose

A while ago 
This flower symbolized one-sided love
Which is hopeless
Recently, the red rose
Is a beautiful way 
To compliment the smile 
Of the one who receives it.

Be Admired By Everyone

Be Admired By Everyone

There are many things we desired;
By everyone want to be admired;
Where we went,
Receive compliment,
And by others have been inspired.

Twenty-Twenty Vision

Mick’s ex-wife in the nude needed some cheer,
she felt fat and ugly and horribly *****;
to Mick she did lament,
“pay me a compliment …”
“Well your eyesight is near perfect my Dear.”

Literature

Literature is a compliment
Extending outwards
Into a muted feigning of remorse
A removal of the fat slurred tongue
And buying a drink from a bartender
Just to spend time melting cubism

Premium Member Left Handed Compliment

My boss asked me how old I was today.
When I told him I was 60 he said, "No Way!"
"Tomorrow I'm putting you on a lighter work detail," to me he told.
"I had no idea that you were so frigging old."

Guess Who This Was Written For

Guess Who This Was Written For

Coming from you this was a compliment,
Considering great source from where sent;
An award,
Anyone can afford;
Meets demands of ego making me content.

Trump Went Not Competent

Trump Went Not Competent

Where Trump went never obtained consent;
They say he has not ever been competent;
On a big ball;

He could not give or recognize a compliment.

All In Vain

Two-thirty in the morning at my window.
Moonlit dark centiment, I feel windblown.
Convict compliment,
heartless at sundown,
and as the morning comes
the need dies down.
At sunrise all is forgotten

Christmas blazer decorated with sprig of holly
made Mouse’s ensemble seem uplifted and jolly
That is a gorgeous fashion statement, an admirer said
Embarrassing shy mouse so that her cheeks turned red.

Premium Member Childlike and Childish

childish and childlike 
in no way similar except for spelling
Yet they often get thrown together as similar
by ignoramuses who do not understand
one is a compliment 
while the other has a mean connotation.

Cool Virtue

Saying "thank you"
Best compliment
To helping hand.

Admit you're wrong
Is humbleness
Down earth virtue.

Show up on time
Is discipline
Is at its best.

Listen not break 
Is self-respect
To whom who talk.

Annual Limelight

The season's almost over,
and I hate seeing it leave
without a whisper,

complaint or compliment,
while poets
bask in literary sunlight,

thinking the moment is eternal.
April's month of poetry
is soon to end.

Love's Vitamins

Like the dietary suppliment
love takes its compliment
the feelings' growth
heart's strenght 
firm
steady
unshaken love
healthy and sound
true love finally found
heart beat, love's so proud.

How come "you're a peach" is a compliment But "you're bananas" is an insult causing abhorrence It's fruit discrimination Causing blood level elevation Why do we allow “coconuts” such extreme arrogance
Form: Limerick

Guard Your Mind, Steel Your Heart

Their insults are all designed to make you feel frail. 
Rude quips display how they all feel about themselves. 
Give a sincere compliment, they tell you off to hell. 
I see many adults acting as if they are still twelve.
