I flouted my knowledge ostentatiously,
But I found no one cared what I came to be.
It’s not the façade they wanted to see,
They just wanted to see; the real me.
Inkhorn means ostentatiously learned and pedantic
Ostentatiously Learned Inkhorn
What I had learned after being born,
Was that I would become an inkhorn;
Knowledge showing,
And brain growing;
All over my walls diplomas did adorn.

There once was a squirrel named Minx
Who fancied herself in the pink
With a stolen fur stole
She'd strut and stroll.
"Dah ling! Fashion's no place for a prink*!"
*(Note: A "prink" is an archaic term meaning to dress ostentatiously
Periwinkle
Growing in my garden in the Texas heat
blooms of periwinkles so petite
lavender and pink and white
ever smiling bright
in array
luscious
grand display
showing graciously
bowing ostentatiously
to the summer breezes blowing soft
greeted by the puffy clouds that drift aloft

A crotch-heavy man called, "The Goat"
Ostentatiously loved to gloat
Until Donald Trump
Groped more than his rump
Thus clinching the Red Dawn Key vote!
*Readers should keep in mind Trump's greatest
success has been focusing the world's attention
on a Vanity Wall, whilst "All the President's Men"
enter vacant federal building and offices to
plant/alter/remove "evidence" and documentation!

I used tangerine
diffuser oil,
just a few drops
on my hands
and various
healing rocks
I found
on the trails
here, in Greensboro,
North Carolina
USA.
I lit four candles
and prayed
silently
and
un-ostentatiously
while my husband
was still working,
one room down
in our one
story, 1400
square-foot
house.
I offered
a prayer of gratitude
for my
extraordinary
life, my health,
and my wealthy heart.
The sunrays showered the treetops
pooling little puddles of light
on the predominance of shade
that claimed the beaten path below;
seemingly ebbing and flowing
caused by the rustle of the trees.
Tiny cabbage white butterflies
in their spiral flights dip and rise
ostentatiously frolicking
amidst the warm illuminates
occasionally alighting
the myriad garlic mustards
that dominate the ground layer
laying their next generation.
Wisdom wild wavering wyrd, wonder of winsome ways
Ostentatiously opportunistic, Orpheus oneiric orchid,
Marvelously mystical mirth maker making man amaze
Ardently argumentative, and artistic accenter; avid
Nymph. Naturally nurturing nostalgic nidulation days
How do I praise the sweet excess in you, the grace
Oozing milk of kindness, compassion that bore me
Obdurate beauty more profound than the pretty face?
Dance dear dreamer devoid of drums drizzled memory.
