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

Reviews

[Rogue]

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...

[Claire Twinn]

It made me think about all those ridiculous people who think they're more important and beautiful than everyone else. Don't they realise how ugly that is?

[Frieda P]

I often wonder if some people own mirrors or have any common sense, it's not so common these days...

[Baby Ricochet]

I know that chick

[Frieda P]

Ha I don't doubt you dated her Mark :-)

[KAOlmsted]

I would point out the word you seek is "vain" not "vein" (unless, dear god, this woman is parading through your vascular system, in which case, eekgads) but I wouldn't want to sound pretentious, so I'll give it a pass this time ;-)

God do I know these women...you've really painted a nice picture here with your words...I could just see her, strutting around...awesome. Great stuff.

[Frieda P]

OMG how did I miss that, no more vodka for missy! Do you know my neighbor, she's quite flattered by this in all actuality, silly goose! Some of us are just proud of our all out bitchiness *laugh* Thanks for the heads up x

[KAOlmsted]

Ha! No problem...you'd do it for me...oh wait...you wouldn't have to ;-p *laugh*

This is about your neighbor? Oh man...they should give you a 30 day trial period when you move into a house to check out all the wackadoos on the block before signing the papers xD I've got some doozies, I'll tell ya. Give her hell, lady, nobody does it better than you!

xoxo

[Frieda P]

Haha, oh man, I can't wait to catch you in a fook up!! I live & breathe for the day! ...She's quite amusing to be honest...she even said I could borrow her plumage one day if I was really careful with it! haha

[KAOlmsted]

HA! You know what? I've been called on a few, so, I have no doubt your day is coming...sometimes I write hungover or...working very hard on getting the hangover *laugh* Those are the fun writes xD

I'm telling you...get off that block and come live on mine! :-D And bring the hot sons xD (It's been a full 2 days since I said anything inappropriate about your hot sons...I was getting antsy)

xoxo

[Frieda P]

Ha being one hot son is in your vicinity I'm not surprised you're getting antsy! If only you were his biggest problem, is there rehab for 'the kimmer' I doubt that would ever stick! xo

[KAOlmsted]

O.O In my vicinity? Is the hot-mess hot-son in Florida?? (I'm on the fence as to whether that was offensive, so I'll let you decide xD (If yes, oops, my bad, sorry, if no...*laugh*)

Sadly, there have been no cures documented after somebody gets kimmered...it's kind of like herpes...the gift that keeps on giving xD

[Frieda P]

Lol, omfg...you're sinfully good! Yes, I told you he's in FL...where else do you go to dry out?

[KAOlmsted]

Did you? I hang on your every word...how did I miss that? ;-)

[Frieda P]

Must have been the day you fell on your fat ars and were preoccupied with ants! ;-) Why are all the rehabs in FL is what I want to know...?

[KAOlmsted]

I though they were all in California.

[Frieda P]

Only if you're an annoying addicted vegan ;-)

[KAOlmsted]

Ha!

[Frieda P]

xD

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Ouch! Scratch your eyes out vitriol on a page.

[Frieda P]

Ha I know, I'm such a b***h *laugh* ;-)

[Souladareatease]

A wonderful and scathing write Frieda !!!
penned perfect!!!

[Frieda P]

Woo, thanks for that glowing review! :-)

[Souladareatease]

physical pain keeps my mind from creative review today, but asprin kicks in and truthfully I must convey, all Your writes I have read thus far are always, penned perfection, This was short and to the point with wry laying on the side of the smile...I dug it immensely...sometimes we must push a little needle to inject a bit of bitter medicine for sake of a smile to ourselves:) the smile carried over:)

[Frieda P]

Wow, now you've made my day kind sir!! Thank gawd for aspirin eh? lol ;-)

[Souladareatease]

:)

[Frieda P]

How's the pain?

[Souladareatease]

painful lol kidding It's liberating, im alive damnit im alive Fkn YES I am alive :)
it comes and goes such as does those living moments eh Frieda :)
thank You for asking:)

[Frieda P]

Lol, what kind of drugs did you say you were taking? ;-)

[Souladareatease]

the barely working advil :( anything stronger would lay me out upon the floor--lightweight---sadly not a teen when I could live for the party, now the party is "what new coffee will I try today"

[Frieda P]

Ha...I hear you, but coffee is good, try Aleve it works much better, and I don't think you'll pass out from it, but don't hold me to it, perhaps have it with coffee just in case, unless of course you want to pass out. ;-)

[Souladareatease]

Bit of both I think- half wants to curl up in a ball and the other half doesn't want to lose the savored weekend...and yes I had aleve in my hand...put it down and grabbed that because the bottle had that heavenly yellow glow around it that said "sale"

[Frieda P]

Ha, that damn sale will get you every time...go for the extra bucks next time...

[Renée]

O.o

[Frieda P]

Oh my, are you friends with my neighbor? ;-)

[Renée]

that was a allergic reaction when exposed to that type q ;

[Ken Simm.]

Deliciously twisted this Frieda. Obvously intended at someone and one wonders how many read requests you've send out for it? All asking the same question by return.

[Frieda P]

Ha 'deliciously' twisted' made me smile, thanks Ken!

[Ohhhwillow]

Again you strike us with rich, voluptuous language from title to last type! I do wonder who these strong, gracious feminine figures are you frequently present, one can only wonder.. And this is a strength in your writes alone. They present a sketch for the reader to colour in with their own experiences, we can all relate to such a figure, regardless of who you originally cast a shade of!

Great read Frieda, so exited by your work!

[Frieda P]

Don't I just love that word 'voluptuous' as if, thanks so much Willow....much appreciate your kind words!

[s y e]

So if you asked me 'Would you Snog, Marry or Avoid her' She'd be daft and say Marry or Snog whereas I'd avoid her, at all costs, haha! Sounds like trouble to me!!!

Nice write!! Loved it.

[Frieda P]

Lol, that's hysterical Sye, I'd say she's been all three! ;-)

[s y e]

Bahahaha, she should be on that show!

[Frieda P]

Ha I can't speak to the other two, but married, she's been four times that I know of...ha, which show is that? I'll buy her tickets!

[s y e]

Bahaha, shocker! ;-P It's a tv show, look it up!

[Frieda P]

That's pretty funny....found it on the BBC. Women actually participate, that's the funniest part!

[s y e]

I know! Some are total tramps.....!

[Girl Friday (Sarah W.)]

"all those shes wrecks are stone cold deaf" - love the line...(I think "shes" needs and apostrophe "she has")

I love the imagery of this one...it's an interesting and somber piece, yet one filled with intense emotion. A little "window" into the soul of a person, whoever that person may be. Well written, my friend.

[Frieda P]

Thanks for the heads up and the review Friday. Hate when that happens, my Achilles heel.

[Girl Friday (Sarah W.)]

Happens to us all, my friend. You are fabulous, none the less...actually more so for it, lest I think you are some kind of perfect poetry writing cyborg :)

[Frieda P]

Lol, that just made me spit my drink out, listen, looks who's talking here! Love your work :-)
