Unflattering Echoes

.for public domain


My echoes return
from barren canyon walls,
absent of the flattery,
I often seek from mirrors.


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

Premium Member Can We Assign Regional Gauges For Flattery

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

Premium Member Full Flattery

It is you I am seeking for frost,
the icy balance to my flame;
Flow flickers into wildfire,
anchoring you to me;
Waltz of opposites,
full flattery 
will upend
any

Premium Member Imitation Is the Sleaziest Form of Flattery

Flies buzz
    mosquitoes sting
  I try to whack them
    they both have wings

  Audiences roar
    Politicians sing
  The media attacks them
    They duck the arrows, the slings

His Love For You

He knows you love him
But he doesn't know
How to love you
Just like you do
So you say
He doesn't love you
Yet in his silence
His heart is split 
Only for you
And in his noise 
Its just flattery

Deep Connection

sincere flattery
    passion beyond the twilight
       romantic daydreams

       life lived for reason
    compassion needed for ease
a deep connection

Imitation Is the Sincerest Form of Flattery, So Don'T Sue Me, Wallace Stevens

I know what a poem
looks like.

I know how to make
my prose look like verse.

A little tuck here,
an indent there,

et voila! It’s verse! 
or worse ...

a pale imitation of seem.

Hammer, the Don

Once there was a man called Hammer, the Don
the power of legislation to execute judgement he owns
his fort is full of "inhibitions" = "grudge"
his policy "no flattery only boasting" judge!
bloody this hammer should come to light.Done!

be authentic
be true
to the song
playing in your heart 

there is no need
to contract consciousness 
by betraying the muse
reverberating within

imitation as flattery
scars the soul
recognise and celebrate 
your uniqueness

Persecution

Imitation is sincere,
Flattery in every line,
DH inspires passion.

Words read so similar, 
Anger ignites in me,
DH pestered to frustration. 

I create havoc, slinging venom 
Like tossing candy in a parade,
DH pays the price for my sin.

---------- Still chuckling at Maurice Rigoler's The Art of the Short Poem. To imitate: high form of flattery; I flat in thy direction, matterly.

Eco Living

The peeping birds
agape up my psyche
towards the dateless
flattery cascade that fluxes
from the celestial
mountains into the
serene emerald ocean
and gives a concise meaning
to the life of a woodland man
who is lost in the fire
of the furious selfish world .

Premium Member Graciousness

What more can one ask of solid friends
Who go beyond words to express their love?
With honesty barring flattery
Trusted enough, we keep one another's keys
Who look out for each other, like family

Ingrate

Ingrate by Adejola Joseph
Ingratitude of an ignorant
A daylight robber and abuser of opportunities
An ingrate is a time waster
A simple murderer
He doesn't appreciate
And when he does it is flattery
Helping an ingrate is like pouring water in the basket.
Ingrate.

Premium Member The first time you kissed me, it was such a shock

The first time you kissed me, it was such a shock,
I literally saw time stop on the old kitchen clock.
But before you accuse me of over-the-top flattery,
let me assure you, it turned out to be just a dead battery.
And once replaced, time started again with the same old tick-tock.

Naughty Sexet

A poem by my far away friend
inspired the following ditty
in the form of a sexet:
Jack did, Diane did not
Jack was much too hot!
Bodies on fire
with desire
The Earth
moved




Inspired by Christie Moses' Naughty Ditty.
Sorry Christie for this plagiarism
but it is the highest form of flattery!

Foreign Foods

indonesian beaches and
days of infinite hunger
drunk and repellent
I am again
there’s no time for fishy flattery
'cause god called a horseman
flogging a dead horse
outlaw of the oscillation nation
playing with matches
by the gas-works
and I have this foreboding
of foreign foods
and fishmonger hooks

Chef's Special

There was an old sauce chef from Killarney, 
    Whose Irish stew, was flavoured with blarney.
    While he quaffed bottles of hock,
    That was infused with shamrock.
    Which spiced up his special bouquet garni.

nothing

peeling

     fading

  absence
of

careless

     of

Premium Member Curry Favor

Listen to poem:
Oh I do like a good curry
spicy and hot, 
with a lot of flavor,
fresh herbs and spices.
But I abhor your flattery
to fawn and curry favor
in vile ingratiation.
Such curry has a bitter flavour
and nips the bud of any favor sought.
It's a dish of foul curry and tainted rice,
topped with a sauce of greed and avarice.
