smug
arms folded

of his mustache --
even the thought
that he
could be defeated...

Haranguing,
tongue,
bitter mind,
rancid thoughts,
cruel eyes,
violent hands,
smashing legs,
disdainful chest,
he was always trying,
to prove that he was best.

The Cat
the truth I do not stretch or shove
the haughty cat looks down from above.
she struts about with nose held high,
and glares at me with disdainful eye.

PARIS
We adore her splendours;
But Paris displays these
Long aloof avenues, and arbours
Of precisely pruned trees;
Turns a disdainful look
At our presence,
Gives a Gallic shrug
At our absence:
See Paris and die -
Paris will not even sigh.

Life around me
Lose control
Price of energy
Eats you whole
Consume
Attain
Distract
Disdain
Life betray you
Purpose lost
Love thy neighbour
Whatever the cost
Consume the falicy
Attain more... MORE
Distract from the dying
Disdainful dead next door

Search the world
for your treasures,
lap up luxury,
fondle greed,
eschew the lowly
and humble
while your ego
struts naked before
a disdainful world.
But I would give up
Shakespeare's crown
and the touch of Midas
to seek the only thing
that matters-- to be
in God's good grace.

opulent peacock
disdainful beautiful bird
marvellous to watch
king of his domain
iridescent arrogance
breathless I'm In awe
crested feathered crown
stunning fan tail on display
flawless perfection

Crow’s Feet
What dark epaulette drapes
the scare crows shoulder?
Gazing bleakly upon
withered corn stalks
rustling in the wind’s
disdainful howl.
What mistaken duty
denies dismissal’s call
condemns the sullen sentry
to cower at death’s touch
mourning silenced wings
What twist of fate
draws him to the ground
in featherless
shivering
death?

She is the most demanding cat who ever shared my home.
She stares at me so balefully till I do what she wants,
And yet I love her more than any other cat I’ve owned.
She tramples on my feelings as she tramples on my plants
Then stalks away with nothing more than a disdainful glance.
Some people say of pussies, that you can’t tell them apart …
I treat all mine as equals … but Pandora has my heart ...

Rhyme Royal
Some may say it is a facade,
a wall against reality,
away from disdainful eyes,
that are my judge and jury.
Is it hiding from myself
or concealing my shame?
Are the oaths fake
when we both know?
Nothing can deny the guilt
or the pain of being me,
it wasn't a choice I could make
it's was a fact given me.
In the battle for equal rites
no one gave a solution
how to change her opinion
and gain mother's approval.

Pride or Proud; Which are you?
Pride is devastating, reduce to chaos
Reducing one to disdainful behavior
In the long run,
Oscillating displaying a negative behavior
Being Proud is on a different page
Exultant filled with great joy
Triumph having proper self-respect
Jubilation, oscillating with high speed
Through atmospheric phenomena
appreciation, full of understanding
In any circumstances or situations
Which are you?

Death be not arrogant,
even though thou art bind man in thine shackle,
celebrate not over me,ye bloody mutant,
thy stems and roots and leaves,shall I tackle.
Death be not haughty,
for thou art a disdainful bastard,
over me,your powers are getting rusty,
thou taketh everything, even them small as mustard.
O'death you came to me last night,
and broke my mug,
even in twilight,
and stained my rug,
with your filt,
and your shog!

Sour grapes have been washed
And set out to tease.
Sitting in the middle of the room
On a pedestal of glass.
Sour grapes look down
With an almost disdainful stare
At the Lords and Ladies hurrying by
Wondering if any would care.
The scurrying,the trifling
The signs of human persons.
Gave it courage to ask.
Care for some?"
Let sour grapes sit.
Adorned in the finest China.
For in tasting only can you tell.
The story sour grapes bear.

Dramatic Verse
Anger,
it was all it took,
he merely tossed a disdainful look,
thwarted attempt,
the beast smiled with thinly veiled contempt,
he was bold,
his heart cold,
as the words were told,
and the beast stood in silence
just for a moment,
his hatred palpable,
he shouted,
as pain
screamed through him,
exploding the veins,
and his emotions drained,
he howled in agony,
he shouted in fury,
he cries,
darkness was his eyes,
death was on his breath.

Dramatic Verse
A throat tickling ambience
of chili garlic sauce
settles over rows of Mung Bean paste
and bottles of oyster sauce.
Then clumsily
I knock over and break a glass jar
of hot curry powder.
The lady at the cash register
watches me jump backwards
flapping at the spicy miasma.
She is sixteen going on fifty.
Her disdainful frown speaks volumes.
I sneeze, and inwardly apologize
to a pantheon of Chinese Gods
for my sudden and wistful desire
for a White Castle slider.

Disdainful moon,
Scrutinized my happiness
And unparalleled delight
Delight that she once felt
Towards her only light
Light that made her beautiful
And displayed her unrivaled might
Might that gradually fading
Because of her shattered pieces heart
Heart that caused her to be secluded,
Torn asunder, and apart
Apart that will no longer be together
And be like exquisite finest art
Art that appreciates beauty
Of the lost and isolated
Disdainful moon
