Short Unobtrusively Poems

It's all right there, from you don't hide

Heavenly September is marvelous in its beauty,
Unobtrusively stroking each trust is gratifying,
Relentless daylight sprinkles alluring lewd duty,

As auld relics fade, raw ones are soft as kid's booty.

whose innate beauty potential
is measured in nanoseconds
thus leaving little precious time
to create a faceted gem....
