Life of Vanities

 none of that matters to me
 only my life matters...


Rose- the Morning Glory

Reality illuminates the dark
Ostentatious colors that steal sights
Shining, sparkling and singing,
Early-risers delight… the morning glory

Premium Member Coffee Break

Lively at eight, the pool’s a.m.
Morning coffee’s brewing; I’m bending.
Noodled ‘til class end, then I sip.
Ostentatious sciatica
Propels me into later wake.

Mud puddle Marvin makes messy mixes
Never nailed Nanette notices noodles by nixes
Ostentatious Oscar organizes oatmeal fixes
Providing proof personified, pixie counts by sixes

Hard Head Like Big Boulder

Hard Head Like Big Boulder

Trump had hard head like big boulder;
Was ostentatious as he became older;
We could not resist;
Scratched from list;
He set fires that soon would smolder.

Premium Member Opulent

Oligarchs flaunt a lifestyle folks can only dream of. Luxurious yachts, opulent mansions, solid gold toilets, decadent precious stones, and world-class cuisine. Materialistic, posh, and ostentatious.

Snow

Absolutely breathtaking! Coldly dancing…enchanting…falling gracefully. Hope in jeweled kisses. Lingering meticulously. Naturally ostentatious. Perfection quietly rains slowly, tickling unblushingly. Velvet wafts xposing yielding zephyr.

Premium Member A Great Poem

I have written down for thee
A poem so great that history
Must recall its mighty splendor
This is the judgement it must render
Ostentatious as it may sound
I have written it all down
Self promotion the bane of me
Yet, tis all the rage in 23

Premium Member Scars

Scars
and Sun,
with their mark
a gruesome glow. 
You can taste that edge,
as the knife stabs your throat.
Cut pumpkins swallow the Sun,
now this final curtain is warmed.
Ostentatious heat clings, darkness waits
for that first bittersweet taste of autumn.

Premium Member luxurious hotel lobby in 1962

New Orleans’ 1962 ostentatious hotel lobby
extravagant crystal fluted chandeliers
highly polished walnut counter tops
opulent Italian marble floors
plush scarlet velvet cushioned couches
swankly brass and glass décor
luxury never seen after nineteen sixty-two

Premium Member Encapsulated Perfection

An aesthetic bottle garden
is a living, phantasmagorical jewel.
A treasured, ostentatious gem,
intricately designed,
artistically arranged and sustained behind a shield of glass.
Encapsulated perfection,
a splendiferous garden of paradise
juxtaposed with a sullied polluted Earth.

Fantastic fabulous frisky faeries flitter forever 
Luxuriously loving lady-like likeable lilies 
Obliterating outgoing outlandish ostentatious orchid
Wonderful whimsical warmhearted warlock wiggles wind 
Effervescent ebullient elegant elves eagerly expedite Echinacea 
Relieved rambunctious radiant roses replenishes rakish Rudbeckia

If I Could Find the Words

If I could just tell of the cruel it'd hit,
instead of outbursts that fail to grip,
would heads really grasp... is it all gossip?
Forgotten history and nostalgia trips.

My thoughts once tangled up balls of string,
seem flawed, fall short, fail to alter things,
ostentatious false holds the force to win,
whilst my incongruous talk falters thin

La-Di-Da Land

La-di-da land

In la-di-da land
The style is grand

The people are presumptuous
And their spending ostentatious

Their language is grandiloquent
But their thinking faculty is somnoluent

There, the smallest animal is elephant
And their look is elegant

The people love conspicuous consumption
And at all times, they crave for sweet sensation

Premium Member Mnopqr For Fun

Millions of merry mischievous mice made marmalade mincemeat for miles
Nineteen neckties snagged nimble necessary notetakers’ smiles
Outrageous ostentatious octopuses ogled ordinary octogens.
Private praying piranhas provided persnickety pieces of puns.
Querulous quails qualified quite quietly with quality quizzes.
Renegade ridiculous roosters readily rejected revealing robin's kisses.

Oceanic octopus south of the border
Eight elongated tentacles in a ripe order
An organic obstacle to outrageous pirate queens.
Housing grizzly omnivores and oily other things.

Overwhelmingly ostentatious in the oceanic sea.
Oxymorons galore; floating in Earl Gray’s English tea.
Brown oxidized treasure chests gliding in the water.
Oriental spaceships spelling out watch out daughter.

Different Realities

The pregnant dream vs the naked existence.
The healthy belligerent vs sanguine invalid. 
The buoyant child vs the cavillous pensioner.
The all-giving African vs the all-recieving European.
The befriended neighbour vs the ostracized man.
The kaleidoscopic optimist vs bleak pessimist.
The raw truth vs the falsified lie.
The low-key good Samaritan vs the ostentatious donator.
The good vs the bad.

Premium Member Mother Heartbeat

Written: April 12, 2025, for contest Sponsored by: Joseph May *************** You start life in a transparent, brittle yolk, Underwater uterus, pulsing with mother heartbeat. Reeling consistently, ostentatious in your cloak, Gossamer, in your mother womb, comfy seat. Ready for air by evolving in this glass soak, Yarn umbilical cord pulls you out of the peat.

Premium Member Being Pretentious

Being Pretentious By: Tom Wright 7/11/2019 It seems some peoples nature is to be ostentatious, Because God put on earth those of every kind. While this type of person is apt to be fallacious, When beyond my vision they’re off my mind. “Sometimes those who don’t socialize much aren’t anti-social, They just have no tolerance for drama and fake people.” (Quotes and Notes)

Charm

A quiet enchantment needs
no stage to captivate.

A sudden, incandescent grace
illuminates the crowded room,
Disarming every hardened heart
with effortless benevolence,
An unpretentious, magnetic 
warmth that softly draw us
near.
It leaves a lingering,
unforgettable impression in its
wake,
Enthralling spirits without a
single ostentatious word,
A fleeting, beautiful magic
woven into the quietest breath.

Premium Member Celestial Gaze

Listen to poem:
Ballads and candles of lyrical light in stemmed yearning breezes of ethereal pearl shimmering translucence in a velvety damask A celestial serenade ~ glittering gold, a halo of airy haze An ostentatious cynosure, a wispy elixir Calcite talismans and ethereal melody. The cosmos is in harmony zingy zest blasts in sapphirelike gaze A flow dashed over the scary abyss. an emollient erstwhile fugacious lyric
