Audacious Pomposity

cast of grey within her shadow

cloak of feathers caught on high fire

struts her hubris down the pike

lofty pretension parade in vain

no sense in bodacious apologies

all those she's wrecked are stone cold deaf 

drained of all exuberance

a simple splash of flash

drowning 

in her own presumptuous pomposity

Hahahahaha

This sounds like a write about me! :D :D :D
You reach a point when you realize no matter what you do, somebody somewhere will be offended. Apologies become fewer and further between for simply breathing the free air.

Teasing aside..
You have penned a clear message for some peacock. :)
Fun wording!

[Frieda P]

Haha, glad you caught my drift, you think the offender would be offended if I showed her this one, probably won't recognize herself in it! Thanks Rogue. :-)

[Rogue]

Oh my, I got the featured spot.
Now don' I feel sheepish?

In answer to your question (not really serious, I know).. Depends in wether the actions were just annoying or completely detrimental. If the former, than no, they most likely are used to it and will go on in unflappable flare.

[Rogue]

In = on

[Frieda P]

Ha, I love 'unflappable flare'! :-) So her.....

[Frieda P]

...or is it flair? ha, probably both!!

[Rogue]

-grin-

Well you did say something about feathers on fire.

[Frieda P]

I know, I was thinking the same thing...sorry, just caught this, I'm a bit slow this morning...! Doh', evening...

[Rebecca Buller]

Fantastic, as always. I think we all know someone this could pertain to.
"struts her hubris down the pike"
Brilliant! I don't know who this woman is, but she sounds like someone who could make your otherwise sweet day turn sour.

[Kaylor Mason]

Give a beautiful woman arrogance and a feeling of superiority, and the damage she can inflict with a single glance is worse than a beating

[Frieda P]

Lol Kailor, I see you've been glanced!

[Kaylor Mason]

countless times, ma'am :)

[TL Boehm]

love this. Want to smack her....but love this

[Frieda P]

Hahaha there's a line! Thanks...

[Tai Ryens]

Splash of flash; o, how amused I am as I imagine the dark scene taking place. Memories playing within a span of mere seconds; a whole life summed up to a fallacious ending.

[Frieda P]

So glad I was able to amuse you with my words, I'll send her your way, you'll be amused beyond words my friend ;-)

[Zahra]

How very inriguing.
'cloak of feathers caught on high fire'
Yes the very expression reminds me of many people. Amazingly described. :)

[Frieda P]

Thanks so much for your visit & review, I think we all know at least one of these people ;-)

[Barbara Walker]

I'm not sure what a high fire is. I think that word "high" detracts from the poem. other than that, it's a nice piece of work!

[Frieda P]

Was meant to suggest high-falutin, uppity, you know the type, thanks Barbara.

[kublakhan27]

Amazing...as ominous as this woman is, I find myself quite fascinated by her...phenomenal piece ;)

[Frieda P]

Lol, she'd eat you for breakfast Benji! ;-P

[kublakhan27]

Haha nah she wouldn't want me, I'm skin and bones ;P

[Frieda P]

Ha I guess snack then ;-P

[kublakhan27]

Would it surprise you to know I considered saying "skin and bone"? Probably not ;P

[Frieda P]

What....? You did say it...ha, go to bed, you need sleep Benji ;-P

[kublakhan27]

You really DO sound surprised haha...I'm, well, surprised...you're right though, I need sleep, but I've needed for the last decade or so ;P

[Kristin Lee]

"All those she's wrecked are stone cold deaf." How fun it is to mock those who stut their stuff like idiots (super modles, Paris Hilton and like like) but this sentence right there say's it all...simply because...what if she's wrecked herself? AND SHE KNOWS IT. Therefore she's unappologetic.

Such a sassy poem. I like it.

[Frieda P]

Ha thanks Kristin, love the word 'sassy'...much appreciated.

[Corset]

oh gosh Pickle, just when I thought we were going to be lovers :( pfffft...actually i think i know what this is about, and I got so tickled at our pitbull pickle defending our rights against the "plague" of originality! Tate warned me bless his beautiful soul.

[Frieda P]

Oi! Thanks for outing me friend...ha, I do have a neighbor with feathers though, they kind of remind me of one another, and who? haha...

[Sami Khalil]

Wow. I just saw this write. I love it...It happens daily...:)

[Frieda P]

It sure does, right under our noses too. ;-)

[Sami Khalil]

That is so true...:)
