Premium Member no one appeared to notice their beauty

four ballerina beauties took a stroll
searching for a tutu they could all agree on
no one appeared to notice their beauty
not a surprise…
standoffish New York city dwellers


in the group



in the group of dewdrops which crystallize loose boundedness 
whose coercive force is unmatched among standoffish streets
we maintain the latent misgivings about our absence

A Negative Aura Exudes From Within

a negative aura 
exudes from within 
a standoffish shell 
of arrogance 
floating away 
on a swelled headed 
hot air balloon ride 
into the conceited skies
far and wide to never 
grace the humbled town again
Form: Lyric

Premium Member Murmurings

Listen to poem:
Murmurs and mumbles
are sounds mimpathic.
Uttered with sympathetic feelings,
but without the guttural loud utterings
that empathy with heart-felt solidarity
and compassion demands.
Mimpathy falls short of full-throated emotional support.
Mimpathy is standoffish aloof and half-hearted.
Murmurings with mimpathy
are rather pathetic.
