Premium Member A Real Facade

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.


Ostentatiously Learned Inkhorn

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

Tran's Gin, Dear

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!

Premium Member I Did

I did

I 
Apparently 
Blindly 
Cautiously 
Delicately
Enthusiastically 
Falteringly 
Gracefully
Haphazardly 
Innocently 
Jokingly 
Kaleidoscopically
Lamentably 
mostly Masterfully 
not Necessarily 
Obviously Ostentatiously
Playfully but Practically 
Questionably
Readily 
Silently 
Thankfully 
Unusually 
Vivaciously
Wickedly  
eXcellently
Youthfully
Zestfully 
Changed my mind.

Premium Member A modest request from a small woman

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.

Early Summer Scene

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.

Womanhood

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.
