Well mannered and disarming
Until his conquests found out
He was a lout
The stories they told were alarming...

Upon the mild mannered Canucks,
Descended an army of trucks.
In the capital town
To bring the government down…
A town full of lawyers, good luck!...

And stays in step.
Yes she’s a socialite in the making,
Lively and living life to the fullest,
A well mannered, that will be greatly missed, social princess....

Everything that you know is wrong.
These lines are non-existence.
He who be almighty is untrue,
And I am God.
If i am made in the reflection of he,
Then the beliefs we hold to are soiled.
Ill-mannered....

Colleague, innocent mannered, told me-
 "In village our feet used to journey" 
Urban feet, mine, smiles 
Fuel is its miles 
Vehicle loves jam and I'm chained free!

An ill-mannered child,
Matrix dilemma,
Bitter when swallowed,
Keeps caught spy secrets,
One for everything.

Elevates moods,
Four hours too long,
Easily hooked,
Go ask Alice.

Famous hill,
Pain crisis,
Dogs hate them,

Dissolves,
Expires

Our Heavenly Father graced of
Playtime
To remind
Despite our past sins
We are precious to him
We are always able to conquer
For he is our Mentor
As our Lord did select
Our Lord as our Architect
I always believed in you
We always rose within your values
Kept well mannered
I looked up to my Elders...

Worn out platitudes
have we come this far ?,
returning all possessed souls
and in the midst  he slayed summer
in a  spectral wooden cupboard
with worn shoes,
and now the lesson is over
by touching all those far apart,
roaming by the foreshore
to see their stranger within
the catch net of life assured...

A baby did she see as she went into labor
A child did she foresee as she bore her baby in her arms
A troublesome teenager did she predict as she nurtured her child
A well mannered adult did she package as she groomed her teenager
A responsible leader has she made her baby single handedly 
She is mother a woman with a purpose....

She is a beautiful Sunday school teacher,
and for children a mild mannered preacher;
the commandments her special to feature; 
To explain, 
a commandment that honours father; mother,
then asks her class “do you know of another,
on how we should treat our sister and brother?”
A voice let out a shrill, 
“Thou shalt not kill!”...

her personality was insipid.
she had a placid handshake
non-emotive, bland, little affect
she made mild-mannered look vibrant
we were stunned at Cousin Charley’s choice of mate.

we have never seen her smile
she could sober Stepford wives
How did our cousin fall for this creature?
None of us have ever figured it out.
lamp posts have more personality....

LUSH STYLES 
            AND LAVISH SOUNDS
 HER VOICE IN TUNE WITH THE SOUNDS
                OF THE MUSIC
           THE ORCHESTRA MADE
     WELL MANNERED THE AUDEINCE
       THAT ENJOYED EVERY WORD
 THEY CLAPPED WHEN THEY LISTENED
    AND STOOD WHEN THEY LOVED
             WHAT THEY HEARD
       THEY SHOWED APPRECATION
  FOR THE PERFORMANCE THEY SAW...

People that stare, people that glare and people that simply don't care,
Hot people, tense people and people who's life isn't fair,
People who don't want to talk, poor people and people who are lonely & sad,
Shabbily dressed, barely washed, ill mannered and some who are plainly bad,
Good people, sometimes, polite people, rarely and people in some way are glad....

Late commers snap beaky throats,
mug with angry complaints.

A gathering
of de-frocked preachers strut
and preen, a tussled foraging, 
hustle, and riot.

Up in the branches brothers caw and jeer.
Upheavals come together,
those with more pluck, snatch and pilfer.

Wanton blackouts of carrion crows
crowd my eyes 
with their petty, ill-mannered crimes....

Celebrity Carrots shook hands with onlookers
    Barrel-chested Beets beat their chests like bass drums
  Soft-spoken Celery Sticks whispered soliloquies
    Mild-mannered Mushrooms spun themselves silly

           At the Vegetable Pride Parade
           Not even legumes left behind
           Rootin'-tootin' Green Beans
            ~ by blaring trumpets designed...

Written January 25, 2015

The girl is broken
She wanted to be saved
And there's him;

Well mannered
A kind man
He was like an angel

Well dressed
A good man
He was like a prince

Well educated
A lover
He was like a poet

The girl is broken
She wanted to be saved
And there's him

———————————
Did he saved the girl?
"No he's the reason why she's broken."...

a tip of the hat 
a polite nod
a hail caesar
a handshake
a slouch
a tugging of the forelock
a proposing of a toast
a salutation sandwich
a salaam
a bow
a cheek-to-cheek contact
a kiss on the bugle
a kowtow 
a wave
a voicemail
a whatsapp 
a geachte heer followed by a comma
a prayer 

it's all very gracious and well mannered
but for god's sake get the swatter...

My ex is like...
		a troll:

	a short one, ugly and hairy but muscular.

My ex is like...
		an overstuffed gnome, 
	like a Santa’s elf with a bristling beard, but
		never a smile.

My ex is like...
		Jabba the Hut:
	gross, ill-mannered, greedy, selfish,
	gobbling up whatever suits him.

My ex is gone. And my relief is like sunshine and
	an open window after a heavy rain....

It springs upon you.
Gleaming clawed metaphor
struggle to unhinge.

Many-legged adjectives 
commence to crawl over the page
similar to a robotic centipede
but bigger, shinier, brasher.

Then the seductive purr,
the mannered modes, the manicured forms,
the unmistakable reek of poetry.

The first step they say is recognition,
the second step is to find it a home.
The third step is to clean up
after it craps itself....

In the recesses of my mind
Lurks an imaginary fiend;
a part of my psyche’s design
borne of a roguish, mutate gene.
Deceit belies my comeliness
To my casual encounters,
I’m well-mannered and smartly dressed
I’m an unsuspecting monster.
Damn fools! Clothes never make the man
nor his discriminating taste.
This real man is more inhuman
whose moral state is unchaste.
I was born with this affliction
Wreaking pain is satisfaction....

Words will never convey my thoughts
What I so want to say to her
It often leaves me overwrought
My mind becomes a hopeless blur.
Her comely grace and pleasing eyes
Her sweet amicability
Leaves me goggle-eyed and tongue-tied
when I look upon her beauty.
At home I think up words to say
Articulating syllables
Spoken in a well mannered way
But deem them unacceptable.
The hardest thing for me to do
Is utter three words, “I love you.”...

The silence of a diversified nature,
The habit of a ministry,
Goodness and kindness of a neighbor,
Loving care and faith of relatives,
The sound of the songbird's symphony,
Silent patterns of civilized traffic,
The sounds of learning,
A classroom civilized and well-mannered,
University beckons,
A symphony that blesses the listeners,
Choirs resounding and praising God,
My favorite church on Sunday.

It sprang upon me,
a clawed metaphor
not anything real, 
but a shaggy crypto-beast.

Then the seductive purr 
the mannered modes, the manicured forms
those deftly obvious diphthongs 
that like spoor, lead to more -
the unmistakable reek of
a force-fed poem

The first step they say is recognition,
the second step, is to admit
a laryngeal contrivance.
The third step is to clean up
without complaint,
when it craps all over the page....
