PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

by Jeph Johnson

Alluring,
tugged at my attention but was too easy to avoid

Angelic
shown from afar, and had too many bright lights

Appealing

reeked of eventual friendship

Charming
left me warm and fuzzy inside, but not much else

Comely
was merely the opposite of Homely

Cute
was not much better than Keen

Dazzling
left me with sparkles on my clothes, but was not friendly with Smooth

Delicate
one of my favorites, was just too fragile

Divine
stood alone, untouchable

Elegant
would never get naked

Enticing
left out hope for love

Exquisite
was too scholarly

Fair
always took things wrong

Fine
took things wrong too, unless I brought So in

Foxy
was just too flamboyant

Good-Looking
seemed unequivocal but didn't like poetry

Gorgeous
always wanted flowers

Grand
seemed unattainable, yet, to be honest, was not that desirable

Ideal
was THAT desirable, but lacked grandeur

Lovely
was too polite

Magnificent
was like Grand with more fanfare

Pleasing
was very eager but ambiguous.  For instance, spaghetti is "Pleasing"

Pretty
was classic, but not appropriate to most my poetic endeavors

Pulchritudinous
was just too much to handle

Radiant
was like Brilliant without the brains

Ravishing
was simply a cross between Pleasing and Dazzling

Refined
was boring, but well-behaved at dinner parties

Resplendent
wasn't even in my phone book

Shapely
spent too much time at the gym

Splendid
was a masculine version of Radiant

Stunning
left me paralyzed

Sublime
was too elevated

Well-Formed
was a scientific version of Shapely

Wonderful
acted much more like Joy than Beauty...
