Whispering Peonies Of Graceful Allure?
What is she all about?
She walks with whispering grace,
like a peony swaying in the summer breeze,
leaving silky pink petals in its wake
**
Her serene blooms
are as captivating as
a glowing bride’s
**
Floating elegance
in every step
Intoxicating sweet fragrances
for all to inhale
**
Heads pivot,
eyes all agape,
a hiss of breath intake
**
Echoes of longing
dance along the concrete canvas
of need, envy, want
**
A saucy smirk from her plush lips,
a wicked twinkle from her chestnut orbs,
impish glances
**
Oh, how she loved to be adored!
**
Too bad
her enchanting
allure was
a façade
to all who
knew her
all too well
**
C'est dommage
French for “It’s a shame”
About the Creator
Where's the Glory?
In breaking news, rehabilitated Republican Senator Johnnie Johnson (Pronouns: HE, HIM, HIS) called a press conference from the Men’s room of the New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport, Concourse B, across from the Ignatius Reilly’s Lucky Dog stand. The Senator had just returned from a sexual reorientation rehabilitation program in Memphis, TN after being publically disgraced at a Buckee’s Truckstop restroom soliciting sex from an undercover cop three months ago. He is a founding member of the Reformed Christians for Christ, a conservative, pro-family and ex-gay advocacy group. In the spirit of being reborn, Senator Johnson invited reporters to marvel at his plans for a major remodeling of airport bathrooms.

An amazing picture and beautiful words
très bien, mon amie qui écrit.
Excellent poem with fine imagery, Daphne. I expect these people are pretty common as a way of dealing with their baggage. Have a great day ! 😊👍
Beautifully written with such a deep and intricate message. This is one of your best works!!! I love the photo!
The image went so well with the poem. The message is clear. Great work Daphsam.
Reminds me about how people deemed to be attractive that receive a lot of attention have it easier to use people as an attention resource, as they're almost never out of admirers.
Very cleverly crafted - Message is spot on 🤍
Like many others l expect, l clicked on this because of that amazing picture. It didn't disappoint!
Love the image, so perfect for the words you gave us
Ah, the inner aches we never let any others see.
