Being Polite: A Poetic Balance Flirting & Civility

Being Polite

Being Polite
Being Polite
He was just being polite.

When he held the door
So you can enter with all
Your gracefulness,

He wasn’t looking
For anything more,
He was just being polite.

When he smiled and said,
Good morning,

He had no intentions of taking it
Any further than
The morning greeting,

He was just being polite.

Some men know
The importance
Of being respectful

Without looking for anything
In return.
