Word of the Day Poem - Froideur

[WhatSmada]

Mr. Froideur doesn’t feel that great
Everyone hails him as the wonder, number eight
He doesn’t feel that way, not one bit
But a smile he wears upon a throne he sits

Everyone takes notes upon his demeanor
The clothes that he wears
The envy surrounds
Stories that his grass is greener

He wants to speak out
Do not look to me!
There is nothing that special...
What do you see?

Children have items
Embossed with his face
He doesn’t understand
Why it fills every space

He wants to scream!
Look to yourself for true glee!
Why, oh why...
Do you study me?

But not a word is muttered
As Mr. Froideur is surrounded
Words and pictures fluttered
Lies and facades compounded

Froidier? A word that caused me turn
to 'look it up' so I could learn.
Then with a glance (the coolest kind)
I sat to spend some versing time.

That roots are French holds no surprise
they're oft' portrayed as haughty guys.
I do not know if this be true,
for Frenchmen that I've met are few.

But I suspect (though can't be sure)
they're not unique in this, 'froidier'.

A lover scorned, a leader mocked,
have likely each received the shock
of hot turned cold - no matter why -
upon response of 'other guy'.

No longer pals, no longer mates
no 'warm & fuzzy' supplicates
to soothe an ear or lend a cure.
Non ma chérie, que-de-la* froideur.

*spoken quickly - as two syllables/counts for three

Apologies to all French speakers out there. Google translate can be a dangerous weapon in the hands on non-native speakers. Comments as to whether or not that last line works would be appreciated (so I can keep learning more)!

Hope you don't mind my 'playing around' with your word of the day WhatSmada. This is how I learn best. Also, if I haven't already said it, welcome to the zone.

Froidier than thou
would seem
more cool
in ones
own esteem.
Froideur needs no Least-to-Most.
It has no comparative sense, all
receiving it are Social Toast

Bump. I'm really curious.

[Johntee]

Froideur never wonders why
his haughty glance
his freezing eye
upsets the riff-raff
passing by.
En haut is he
to lesser beings
"It's not as if the Ogre
has feelings!"

That's colder than cold - if not even any response is anticipated because it's not worth the time - wow!
