Short Flatterers Poems

I do not have
no one to boss orders,
only in me I command...

break stones i
lord of me
I build castles
in the air, I count
ships on the horizon...!...

There was a man
tormented,
abandoned...
He had no friends,
only flatterers...
He was so poor,

One who is full 
of himself,
as fragile as crystal ball

and shines or dims

self, be not overly full of yourself,
as fragile as crystal in a glass shelf,

             which, at the slightest imagined offense,

Hateful speech doth not one become
Neither doth a lieing tongue 
Filthy language hurteth the ear
Threatening words causeth hearts to fear
A gossips whisper is poison indeed

Hasty words are ones mistakes
Bragging words doth aggravate
When thou speaketh use wisdom and grace
And thou willst not have egg  on thine face

Super-sized trifles spun by real winners -
