Best Earmark Poems
Bronco Don and Bally WatsonBronco Don Johnson and Bally Watson...
Oh they speak of Bally Watson and the Dirran boys don't laugh...
Yet they tell in whispers how his ear was shot in half...
Old Bronco Don had shot him for everyone to see...
Witnesses could not be found though the coppers asked...

A Bounteous Harvest(my acknowledgement
to the loose canon of Robert Frost)
An above average snowfall
heavily swathed sage heather
followed by substantial unusual rainfall
punctuated months before, during and
after the growing season
delivered one of the
most hearty crop yields
in living memory
within the generations of men
of this (or any neighboring)
Norwegian bachelor...

SeedSEED
Every talent is a seed
And every seed has its need
Whatever the seed will be,
Depends on the farmer-holder of the seed
If the farmer discards the seed,
There will be no need satisfying the seed,s need
But If he decides to sow the seed,
Then he is burdened with responsibilities...

Kelly DNA found
throughout the land,
and down around the
Dungle Bore,
Fred Layton had a
strand,
He had the Kelly
earmark, wore,
his descendants
Harpers, grand,
wore the Dan Kelly
type of ear-lobe,
that DNA had
planned,
If you look at Red
Kellys' brood,
they have the
lobeless ear,
distinctive breed &
trademark proved,
Don Johnson says
it's here,

no wuss,
clean-skins they

For a Moment Like ThisFOR A MOMENT LIKE THIS
This
Date
Is something
Involving
Intoxicating
Nothing but more than excitement
This momentum of drowning is mystifying us
This present happening has been overflowing, incomparable without ending.
My
Heart
Beats fast
Fiercely pumps
Its supplication
In my veins like a brisk stream....

March 8th International Women's Day the World OverMarch 8th - International Women's Day The World Over
Down to the wire, before this
calendrical occasion doth expire,
though arbitrary twenty four hour
time set aside for guide
ding hand of the supposed/purported
fairer gender, yet human race, yet hide
bound male oriented (patriarchal) must
relinquish reigns of power and egoistic pride!
Survival...

Wakey WakeyEveryone sees
except the clown
eternal illusions
edged into oblivion
exposed
even old ladies laugh now and know
earmark of fool
ego bigger than a hallmark brain
egotistical mind ejaculated into space
eccentricity of ai caught red handed
embodiment of fraud
emotionless thief who steals the spotlight
empathy a pill he will never swallow
embezzling attention anyway he...

Love On a LarkOn a truant stroll did embark
Amorous libertine on a lark
Half past eight, almost dark
Chance encounter in the park
Whimsical glance hit the mark
Scintilating essence; a meadowlark
Glowing eyes radiated a spark
Glimmering lips lust did earmark
Craven, black hair so sleek, so stark
Bleating bosom her beaconing bulwark
Cleavage mapped by...

If In Doubt About What To DoIf in doubt about what to do,
Start up yet another charity,
And ask donors to use their credit cards,
That should ease a conscience or two.
If in doubt about what to do,
Build an even bigger sports stadium,
That should take their mind off the housing shortage.
If in doubt...

The Path From 911Asking that proclaimed advisor's draft
of knowledge, of a cover-up's contract
through séance of confusion, ne'er retract
the pages, twenty eight, protection's path!
Demand the faith to open, future's graft
not lying as the victim's graven last
no earmark of objection, seconds past
then scored as endless treason, truth not classed!
What strength...

Leadership's CupThe treadmill of dissension causing force,
'twas not my earmark, not my focused gain.
A wound inflicted does not heal the source
but only suffers definition as the stain!
So thank you, Lord, the hurt you took away,
not just my own to bear, nor that of prey.
The wounds I...

Exceeding HopeMiracles lift a sullen mind and spirits touch the doors of the doleful heart
tears of the rain subside and rays of the sun surely enlighten the soul of desperation
longing for departure of adversities, restoration of wellbeing will commenced
