Premium Member Styles In Piles

Genteel Ladies are careful not to toot
While itty bitty babies laugh when they poop 
Big strong men, with hand's on their hips
Lift one leg, and they just let it Rip

Premium Member Crystal Clarity Caught In Dops

Crystal clarity caught in drops

water is pristine and

genteel,

as it gurgles, babbles and plops

flowing over the land

with zeal.

Premium Member On Encountering Interstellar Visitors

When life from the stars comes a calling, 
Be suave and genteel, not appalling.
One's first words should be:
'Would you like some tea?'
With diction correct, and no drawling.

Premium Member A Refined Gent

A refined gent who serves lunch in Decatur
Is the posh bistro’s most genteel waiter
He serves fine escargot
and tres-bon merlot
Then mosies home to his deep-fried potater

English Countryside Carnage

There is a genteel place called Midsomer,
But living there can be a real bummer.
For the inhabitants wait in dread
That they be among the murdered dead.

Premium Member Toils of Night

The feathery dusky violets,
Of a purplish vaulted sky royal,
Tickles the genteel soles of twilights,
It wakes to a bluing chambered hall,
Whilst ups a blanched dress as white stars sprawl

Genteel girls trained to charm
Gentlemen with their wit,
Graceful dancing and song.
Garbed in silk kimonos,
Garnished with exquisite
Gems and embroidery - 
Gracious teahouse hostess.

Adventure brewed crowded dreams,
endlessly fairs genteel habit,
instilled jargons,
kidnapped laurels minted- naively,
oscillating power quickly,
rendering sweeten treasures universal voice,
warrior xysts zoologically.

I once knew a teen on Shannon Street Who spent lots of time beating his meat Until he met a genteel girl, Who took him out for little whirl And he found out what she did was neat.

Here lies Eleanor McKenzie Wedgewood Passed as an elderly genteel virgin should Never meeting her desired mate, A sadly regrettable fate It's said, moreover, she did the best she could.

Premium Member Grace

Grace is the right balance of humor, tact, and wit. Touting propriety, couth, and civility. Innocence, with a tinge of righteous arrogance. Genteel fluidity, in dress and decorum. And the epitome, of femininity.

Neil the Seal

There once was a seal named Neil
Whose antics did greatly appeal
Some called him fat
But don't be like that
He's not what you'd call genteel.

* The real Neil is a 1,000 kg southern elephant seal who frequents a small town in Tasmania, Australia.

Premium Member Aleatory Thoughts

impromptu
    light-hearted,
      in vogue:
a genteel
   virtue
      devoid 
      of
      the vernacular..
..yet
     straight-laced,
fastidious
       maybe:
the
    essentials
    of life
in
summoned
semantics
of an
illusory
    vacuum

Premium Member Too Old To Be A Narci!

When beauty’s gone bye bye and slack flesh becks Jowls, crow’s feet, graveled voice and turkey necks Too old to be a narcissist what’s left is a pacifist *Tender genteel haters do not make good peaceniks!

Premium Member Shrewdness of the Shrew

The shrewdness of the shrew
Out of place on her
Would better be placed 
Upon a gentle woman
Of genteel character

This shrew of a woman
Abused by a man in her childhood
Angry all the time
Doesn't even know why herself
The only thing she knows 
Is she is angry at this man




In the process of thought.....

Thus She Replied

The little girl who once rode my pony
I asked this day to marry me
Her bated breath quivering like happy lips
Over a bowl full of spicy hot chili
Her hazel eyes twitching all aglow
Excitement suited for life’s safari
I imagined this day dressed in genteel
My heart in wonder of standing hairs or bruised heel

Dogwood Downs

It doesn't matter what you look like
It doesn't matter what you feel
All that matters is where it lands
when you spin the wheel.
Where the blood splatters and
and finally congeals;
perhaps out back, in your garden. 
The neighbors would say:
'but he was so genteel...'
Onerous is the duty
of knowing what's real.

Premium Member Mardi Gras Allie

Mardi gras Allie from New Orleans
Flipped his tail and showed his greens
the decorator was thrilled and dressed him up
in purple waistcoat, so he could go to sup

at a genteel lady’s house, her name was Kat
He wore a flower in his lapel and a tall top hat
He is debonair and handsome too, she bragged
Her compliments for Allie never lagged

Love

love 
Your genteel hand in mine,
seeing your smile,
in the middle of the night,
whispering sweet words,
falling asleep with the sound of your voice,
is it a love or what,

Covering my cold body,
in the middle of night,
making me feel better,
when I got a flue,
seeing  your face
early in the morning,
kissing you good night,
night after night

love
is that
and more

Premium Member Reflections of Love In Water Droplets

As the rain kisses the roses,
Leaving water droplets.
Reflections of their silver hair
As heads touch love's asset.

Time takes away youth's rich beauty.
The reflection reveals
A beauty deeper than youth's dreams_
Love for a liftime that's genteel.
