Palatial the vapid moon
Saints demure often taken and schooled
Haverhill aplenty
Goosebumps ashore gifted
The honorable Mai Tai pools

Demure and graceful she sat ~ a wallflower.
Clueless of her feral charm.

When plants arouse for a last

I heard a story that is not so pure
about a town woman with no demure,
they said she likes dirty fun
I told them I now must run...
Tomorrow, I'll worry about a cure!

Premium Member delicate demure dainty dandelion

Delicate demure dainty dandelion
Showing out in subtle ways
Perfection in symmetry
Beautiful against the verdant grasses
I revere you, dandelion.
You will always be a flower to me.

Teenage acne scarring
put an end
to your sojourn
your eyes as beautiful as dawn
glacial cheekbones
the shifting sands
of frozen time relieved
to the demure of wisdom
now realised
