Reflection of my day of thanks
I find 'life worth living' understated

Wily and creative in life, terrorizing in death
Understated breathless anticipation prances forth
jiggling quarts of kangaroo cacti exasperating my zany mother

In secret

Silent Mr.D'Arcy has Miss Lizzie sighing
In a love affair ,oh so trying,
Simmering sexuality within,
Understated by glance & look-
Love,pride,prejudice,all in Austen's book.

Narrative
Long striped gloves gave her an elegance
Understated glamour, familiar in the fifties
The sixties claimed a bit of this romantic chicness,
However, the fifties owned it without bragging

quiet & understated
two words waiting
at the bottom of the page
crouched as though
some other they might chase away
or bar from the path
tonight
i am once again allowed this trespass

Blank verse
Imperfection is beauty, flaws are art,
Purity is overrated, failing is understated,
Strange is innovative,
Battle scars make a soldier,
Perfect makes the heart colder,
Make mistakes, miss a shot,
Dare to fall, dare to try.

I do not know?
Educated and evaluated
I exercise an active plan
Captivated and dedicated
I'm my one and only fan
Motivated and understated
I get by the best that I can
Aggravated and constipated
I'm a 21st century man

Rhyme
The lion in me wants to roar my truth
tearing the invaders apart with her teeth and claws
the lamb in me holds back.
reluctant to show her hooves,
knowing the value of being understated
and waiting before reacting
I hear the lion roar.

If I, the fly, upon the wall
were, all but none the wiser,
then I would spy the wicked weave of me, myself, the spider.
But neigh,'tis not. What caveat!
My prey heeds not, by nature.
For "something wicked this way comes",
an understated danger.

Understated should be more subtle
who is the ex of cited
Why do we have questions
What is the part of icular
Elongated should be shorter
What is the spiration in
And where does go............. go
And what gave God the idea of us
Are we the creators of him

Filled with fresh flowers
An understated beauty
Well-designed garden
Captures attention
Magic really takes place
It relieves my stress
Summer garden fair
Creative spirit revive
Beautiful touch

Translation unknown
Translates to...
Understated home
Undecided to condone the manifestations
"Translation?"
Expect the unexpected
Expectation
Word to the wise, no rule to be to great'n
Unleash and treat it like multiplication
Triple down the system of the equation
Confusion
Placement
Solution

Yesterday
So understated
Yet necessary as a stair step
Toward the best day of your life
Unless you have already had it.
Which would be
So
Danged
De
Press
Ing
Because that would
Mean that you
Are standing
In the window
Of your
Mind
Looking
Back
To
Yesterday
Instead
Of enjoying
Your
Today.

To flood your heart with pure devotion,
Let the rivers of love run through your veins,
To cradle the power of untamed emotion,
Your poignant fever leaves no remains,
To adore and enslave your affectionate trait,
Set free the idealistic and unrealistic,
Believe in the romanticism of your fate,
Be outstanding, understated and be Mystic...

It’s just the aside that resides
Therein lies the (funny)
In between the (funny) lines
Find the humor in the parenthesis (funny)!
An understated (funny) thought
Is it a true statement?
Or wisely cracked (funny)
Sometimes sarcasm (funny) is planted in the middle
No matter when it’s received or how
Even right in the (funny) center
It’s (funny).

Stop !
Look !
Listen to the ways of the world
Of all it's complexities
It's overrated
And understated
Those who succeed
Fail by greed
We the prey
We the predator
Pledge allegiance
To the flag of death
And for which it stands
One world
United in the demise
Of humanity
With plague
And suffering
For all !

Poetry is hard to define
as its language may be refined
or coarse, like a horse with a whinny
or – pardon my simile – a whine
Some readers expect rhythm and flow
though others reject that, I know
A kaleidoscope of images may burst forth
unlike understated razor’s-edge mirth
Poetry's aura is in her mystery
~ that adorns her with majesty

Couplet
Shay was as understated as an orange peacock in a purple tutu
None of us knew what to make of her
She blew in on a Tuesday, and we all knew about it by three
Towns our size only has four people boxes
She did not fit any of them
We could see she would dance her way out of all.
We who had never left Smallville
Had no idea
That bigger places have more boxes.

Living simply
rejoicing
in their callings
He, a shoemaker
finest quality
long-lasting leather
She, a seamstress
understated grace
in bridal gowns and accessories
home - Lower East Side
1930's NYC tenement-style
hearts - in Jerusalem
Their bags packed
ready to go
Hark, Elijah heralds the dawn

older, but no wiser
quieter, but no calmer
far more passionate, but not a lover
taller, but no more confident
overgrown child
who gave you the ability to... drive?
eat, think, work on your own terms
i can't believe the joke you really are
looser, but still a loser
better, but still understated
callous, but still crying
failure, but still with hope
believe it or not

Warmth and understanding,
With nothing to assume,
Gentle like her yoga,
Dark eyes were shining too.
Disturbing my indifference,
She moved into the room
With understated presence,
And saturated mood.
She didn’t disregard me, but
Her walls were never down,
The wolves that she kept waiting
Always were around.
It’s better left platonic,
Precious, sacred piece of ground.

Sonnet
I am always understated
My parents make me frustrated
Boys are stupid
I am bad at being Cupid
I always end up with a jerk
Usually when I get my perks
I walk around with my sassy perks
Then a guy that said holla
I'm like ; you got a dolla
He's like why?
So I can be a balla
that's why I need that Dolla
I ain't no fool
Cuz I go to school
I'm good
Even though I'm from the hood.

Bio
I know the power of a kind word
When feeling isolated or alone
To know someone is there for you
You are no longer on your own
Feeling victimised or vulnerable
Judged or dismissed
Ignored , mistreated
Invisible …..like you do not exist
The power behind a kind word or gesture
Is somewhat underrated
It has the strength to move mountains
Its human connection and worth understated

Spacious comfortable country residence
extended and upgraded, sleeps eight.
On the fringe of a conservation village
elevated distant views, sheltered
solar heating, well insulated.
Sympathetically tucked into a south facing hillside,
extensive well-manicured terraced gardens.
All amenities, motorway and railway within 5 miles.
Paradise on four levels, décor understated
a dusty sand hole, ant excavated…
