There's no adviser that he would't dump
Sometimes though his act seems pretentious
Remember, to him, everyone else is Apprentice

they will wreathe a garland of Catalan cut gladiola
for that pretentious Olympian brow
but that horrid tie and collar - that's just not Arsenal somehow....

Token love tendered with a cheap card
Bartered lyric from a trite bard
Gilded, fabricated charm
Brokered, pretentious smarm
Words, symbols to treasure then disregard...

Pompous city dwellers,
pretentious rock doves now
parade around like a 
popinjay or fancy
peacock, and yet, they're not
persnickety poopers,
pooping on everything.

fresh baby skin

Conscious
Don't be so pretentious 
To not be conscious
All the things you've seen give you a luscious feel. 
So go on, as you discover more. 
When you found what your looking for. 
Give a rest.
Buckle up and mesmerized by your thing....

Brown Brown, you come to me with warmth and complete resolve. You are not flashy or pretentious but content to stand back and stay out of the spotlight.. Strong and comforting I turn to you and bathe in your quiet promise.

The New God
They gather in cathedral clinics,
(with virtuoso grin)
scientists in robes of white.
Pretentious keepers of a new race,
their will shall be a will that mimics;
Manipulating the gene pool's base
in halls white-washed of sin,
not as God, but as God might......

Premium Member Masks
We wear the pacifist’s mask 
that makes others feel O.K.
friendly polite poetry
“hello, goodbye” so cordially,
spiced with handshake, kiss or hug
circumstance, pretentious love.
Then suddenly strip it all away.
The real mask wearer doesn't stay.

Triple a Challenge
Your asseveration is unsupported –
With pretentious ideas 
I once thought you were altruistic
But now the blind fold unveiled 
I see now vividly axiomatic –
You carry away your sorrows and drown them in your doubt
Such a shame my darling-
You could of rose above it...

Tawny Frogmouth
One look. You smile, you nod, you fall for him
Eyes enchanting, breathing dead bark of tree
Showy singer, poor nest, pretentious whim
Yet, expert in stumping, purrs when with glee
Takes up parenting with love, face never once grim
So uxorious, love-rich. Why ours not so be?...

Thoughts.  they twist, turn, and travel,
in a passing pretentious place as one ponders
crying, climatic, charismatic, characteristics containing to you.
Delightedly  doubtful, declining due to direct disbelief 
So subtle these thoughts are saying surely yet slowly sleep. 
Sleep 
Just sleep...
