Premium Member Compliments and Condiments

Much like compliments, so do condiments

Something to know about Steve
He was born lacking some teeth
But he is proud
Of his shiny smile
Compliments of golden fillings

Technique

There dwells a mime 

Within me

He speaks

But not a word

Expressing only compliments

The secrets 

That he's heard.

Blindsided By

through out the years
seemed to be 
constantly blindsided by 
backhanded compliments
made that were fuelled by 
pent up resentments
Form: Lyric

That Woman

Her heart a fortress
Her mind untamed
Immune to hypnosis
By roses and compliments
A thousand lovely sonnets
Wouldn’t make a difference

Premium Member apple polishing flattering sycophant

flattery and compliments oozed out of her
she would apple polish a weirdo, a cur.
a suave sycophant of the nth degree
her nose as brown and smelly as an eye can see

Soul

If you have not gotten to know my soul. 
Then you know nothing of my scars & my soul. 
So save the egotistical compliments to take my blindfolds off. 
They will not work.

Crowds joined with smiles and cheers
Champagne flowed with delight

Counting down to midnight
Crystal flutes raised in toasts

Choice of superb bubbly

Thanks a Lot

I had compliments
On my haircut and I smiled...
Thanks a lot, peoples! 

I had a great day
Contentment earns me 
A ticket to bliss!

I had some good news
But, I kept it to myself
Thanks A LOT, David!!

Premium Member Alone Again

Sundown.
No one around, but me.
Company?
No, I don’t need 
the constant feed 
of compliments. 
I simply ride the fence, 
to gain distance.

Rabbit Coat

Multi-colored. Unknown purchase location.
Ugliest hodge-podge of colors.
Warm as a hot summer sun.
Multiple compliments caused me to finally wear that expensive rabbit coat.
Where did you go? Hopefully I'll get lots of luck.

Sunset

The melodious sunset sang in harmony with the dark shadowy trees,
The sky filled with the furious colors of red and orange
Awaiting the compliments of a star-filled night.
The wind blows and the trees sway
As life passes on.

A Telling Dilemma

her smile 
     noose on  my heart 
her compliments 
      holy scripture 
her despair
     our despair
comforting, 
       loving , 
          everything I need in life...-ing 
Great.
 then what about my girlfriend?

Premium Member Reciprocal

Returning compliments
Received, a kind word to
Redeem a thoughtless tongue
Reach out to the shy ones
Remember when you were
Raw and blue, the one who
Relieved your wounded wings~

Social Networks

Bragging and boasting
is all people do.
Making it hard
for people
to break through. 
If only, if only 
compliments would be given.
Allowing the population
to be driven. 
Suicide rates
wouldn't rise. 
Happiness
would be
gleaming in
many eyes.

Premium Member Unwise Advances

Distrusted compliments
- screech like fingernails across
a schoolroom chalkboard.

No marked card - dealt from 
the bottom of the deck - will
ever unlock my heart.

Avoid the overt
- sly Valmont, the skittish game
is wise to advances.

Premium Member Fake Jewelry Fake Tree Fake You Fake Me

Fake jewelry fake tree, fake fur, a fun-filled faker’s life 
Artificial flowery fakery, fake man, fake wife. 
Fake you, fake me, fake compliments, fake boobs they surely be, 
Unknown feelings, hidden.  Fake you, can you see fake you and fake me?

Accepting Kindness

Even though I am more than a compilation of their compliments-

Their kind words do not feel so tired anymore. 

They really aren’t reading from a script-

I didn’t know at the time-

That they were patiently waiting for me to believe them.

The Wisdom of the Cult of the Ab-Ab-Normal

Compliments are Insults.

Pride is Relative:

 [And UNFORGIVING!]

Conformity is Deception.

Truth Is Absolute: 

 [And UNRESTRICTED!]

Familiarity is Deception.
