Charm and talent
Standout sure
Among women....

Sun-flagrant, a flashed tigress
Gaze-blazing, brazen.
This beauty species he shuns.
And to Shy Wood runs.

Doey eyed, in dappled light;
Which, doe-like, stepped out
Through gentlest coaxing words, with
A sweet demure noise.
Thence charmed away by its poise.
Womankind's standout!...

We used to have buttermilk
and Austrian white wine
from Safeways
and used to buy 2nd hand Prog from Beanos
The years have sped by
and I'm not recalling any standout shop now
Unless you include the durable Buddist centre
Toothless gaps in the town square
The Whitgift Centre is half empty
Samsung Mobile shop is closed
The years have not been very Kind
The sound of laughter is removed...

All my life, it seems

although I had my dreams,

I had no standout wish -

something absolutely necessary to accomplish.

The goals of my life

were ordinary: be a wife;

have children; now, write poetry!

With nothing grand to be,

I choose life’s paths aimlessly,

floating as if to sea!

Nice faces get old one day
But good behaviour last a lifetime
Love beautiful people not beautiful faces. 

Intelligence attracts curiosity
With good behaviour the more you standout
People willing to support your endeavors. 

Strive to be yourself in anyway you can
There's more to praise than being original
Every person is unique in its own way. 

Being knowledgeable is one thing
There's  grand reward for being great
Being faithful is worth everything....
