Fragments of the future fly past
In charming visions and dreams
In agility and analytical contemporariness
Promising exactitude of ostentation...

Premium Member Ostentation
With elegance the peacock
   Struts in show of vanity
   An admiration seeker
   Flaunting bold feathered attire
   Throws modesty to the wind....

Dalmadoodle
My poodle once had a flirtation
With 'Dotty', my neighbour's dalmation.
Their pups wear topknots
Are sprinkled with spots
And walk with a marked ostentation.

Glad,hedonistic lad;
Delighting in delectations,
Amusing affectations,
Posturing pretension
with ogling ostentation!

Professing pleasure seeking
Confessing,leisure leaning.
Reputation so revealing,
Passe peer appealing!

Performing,extroverting,
Showcasing,demonstrating,
Superficial and artificial;
Pleasure without measure....

Sour Turned Friendship
Enriching knowledge was our scope...

But avarice derailed our friendship...

Ostentation unfurled through your face...

Hurricanes of emotion...

The island boy devoured your soul with deceptions..

So u casted mistrustful eye on me...

Am now cut to the quick...

Will however give you that tiny victory but that will be for a short while.....

(The world’s fasted growth industry)

“While the shopkeeper
displays his wares,
for the whole world
to peruse!”

In infamous sway
behind the ostentation
lives the truth of his
draconian sweat!
The attestation of
wholesale systems
groveling in strategic
mayhem, created to
delegate accountability
to the lowest common
denominator!

Premium Member Brilliant Bursts of Pink
Elegant portico columns, fireplace frame
Fronting tasteful, demure white walls
Rich browns -- pianoforte, armchair
Muted ostentation, classicism bespoken --
the eye startled, struck
by the clear glass vase 
on the mantel
stems ascending 
to bold-green leaves
slightly upturned
as are firm, youthful breasts
topped by brilliant bursts
of pink-streaked flowers
panorama...
