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...

Crystal clarity caught in drops

water is pristine and

genteel,

as it gurgles, babbles and plops

flowing over the land

with zeal.

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....

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...

A young gay lad in old Amsterdam
Found himself entangled in a jam
Arrested in a pub
Near a genteel club
He thought himself something of a ham.

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.

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...

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.

It’s the epitome
of femininity.


(Blank Verse)

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........

The little girl who once rode my pony
I asked this day to marry me
Her baited 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...

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....

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...

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.

Genuine gentleman  

Generation through time 
 
Good lenses, massive  frames

George, with manners and smile  

Gabriella melted  

Genteel manners dazzling  

Golden shower marriage

poet your words shelter me, 
allure my soul memory, 
cryptic scenario, 
genteel adventure, 

single letter primary 
release mind diary, 
feelings felt in print, 

read with whisper words inspire, 
spirit uplift, love attire 

solace tranquil, 
enter realm at will 

sense you poet 
feel words unfold 
sequester, retold 

this message beneath
the surface -
lay in wait within...

             Inching unto 
  the tumid capstones of hern 
             pixie's plush

      quietly the genteel of i
               continues
            until her blush

        and her digits reach
           can you believe
         for the likes of me

         Touching my flesh
    where I had use to fright
  now this soul becomes flush
       deep into my sinews
          past mine speak...

After the spooky night 
there was the 
morphean balm.

You pull out the meat 
from the bones.
A genteel confession-

keeps tumbling out.
The haunted house
sends forth the tiny ghosts.

It was moon time.
You will drop a torpedo-
to unsettle the stray thoughts.

The geometry
falters. Lines are drawn
to remove the dots.

The skin you left
on the road;
still glows like a smoldering coal.
