Best Emblem Poems
You are a nocturnal creature
A metaphor of mental picture
In the absence of moonlight
Man-made is your recourse
Symbolism of intuitive feeling
Dreams and inner knowing
Through the darkest hours
Shows faith and intentness
The risk of losing its life
Even so, is ever vigilant
To lead its path of light
Remind us not to fall
A victim of blind faith
Yet she is attracting
Powerfully strong
Lives on and reign
In matters of love
The art of subtle allure
Can be learned as cue
A master of disguise
Is an emblem to blend
And be able to learn
To adapt the environment

We know only those faces,
We have seen in history.
Yet countless strange faces are there
Who fought for the country.
We can never repudiate
Selfless sacrifices of those men,
So I am paying tribute to all those
Martyrs and soldiers through my pen.
Indulged in your duties,
Far away from your family and loving ones.
You fight for our
Dreams, hopes and liberty,
Strutting boldly amidst the raging guns.
Whether it is scorching rays of Sun
Or it is blood freezing cold,
You fight relentlessly
Standing so strong and bold.
You are the true sons of the nation.
For the sake of our lives,
Irrigating this land with your blood
Is your only passion.
Time will never obliterate the fact…
You stand for us like an adobe.
With lion like courage and firmness of temper,
You have made our tricolor
Shimmer throughout the globe.
Death can’t cease you to live
As you live even after dying.
I salute your martyrdom,
For you never got older.
Fighting to keep us free,
It is the stiffest thing
To be you- A SOLDIER......

We don in the endurance race we run
As a sunflower turning to the sun.
American doublet form
US horizons shine
In jubilation
For today, is the 4th of July
As cracks of guns and fireworks
hearten
To celebrate American Independence!
This freedom loving nation
A bastion of heart warming citizens
Today, sing in unison so valiant
Despite dozens in streets protests rippling
Under the sunny emblem.
Now, too, coincide, it reopens
The Great Statue of Liberty, an eye opener
Of the sacrifices proud in wars without and within
The Great Defender and very raring Westerner
Resplendent of its glorious past with
armor despicably shining.
Oh, America, my country, My motherland!
You are one up to this day till end
Come our way , addressed and destined
Followed by allies ,enemies and among nations
Truly unwavering and caring at its helm.
SUPREME EMBLEM, TODAY, the
4TH of JULY OUR INDEPENDENCE!
Look there,do you see the wall of red brick
each upon the other:
leans with great care.
One joined evenly next to the other
bonded together in
equality:
Participating in their purposes
combining ,each their strengths
the load to share:
Weathered with the storms of life on its face
enduring through
eternity:

A great snowy owl
Sat on a cupola
Looking wise
But undoubtedly thinking of mice
Who might be down under the barn
To come out to be devoured
He had flown in from the far north
So large and commanding a bird
Hundreds came daily to gape
His head swiveled
His eyes were astonishing
His silence complete
Eagle-Rare is The Union,
All her members’ arms pinion,
Not with a from-behind arm twist
But thrills that can dare a long list …
You join her you pray to not leave,
You indiscreetly go ahead to leave,
You never cease to piteously grieve
Or emotive sighs endlessly heave.
But please, in the open say it not:
Still on her white sheet parades a blot
And lives with a touchable problem
Singularly bought her by her cultist emblem:
A pair of squinted eyes,
Whose owners’ broad smiles are lies;
And teeth that can one stagger
Farther than an Arab’s Dagger …
And Alakara isn’t bothered about it,
Wherefore many think it is her dug pit!
Look there,do you see the wall of red brick
each upon the other:
leans with great care.
One joined evenly next to the other
bonded together in
equality:
Participating in their purposes
combining ,each their strengths
the load to share:
Weathered with the storms of life on its face
enduring through
eternity:
The bald eagle symbolizes might, strength and freedom...
the United States chose it as their national emblem.
This agile flier is a unique bird that can glide over rivers and oceans...
swooping down to grab fish with its strong toes and sharp talons.
It is the only sacred animal for all the Native Americans...
a messenger, a symbol of peace so honored in their dance.
Bald eagles with their white heads and tails and yellow, curved beak...
survive in their wild habitat by feeding on other birds extremely weak.
Even Benjamin Franklin wasn't too happy about their declaration of supremacy...
he pointed out their dishonesty and cowardice in getting their undeserved prey.
Listen to my dream; we should stab some wine,
this made me think of raw nectar from bees.
One taste of you will expand my divine,
Words you sigh in my ear will tend my trees.
When I seat to draft the views that slumber,
In the back of my brain, I look, then dive.
Into the wretched depths of sea wonder,
to glimpse a rare rock amid the fish hive.
I stir beneath the sand to try to stay,
pearls that dwell in the hold of the shipwreck.
What you are unfit to learn might not play,
a gold yarn spins its way near the hay fleck.
Talking with a smirk flower by sage line,
first light will show my old song tale design.

Emblem-The Church Wall
Look there,do you see the wall of red brick
each upon the other:
leans with great care.
One joined evenly next to the other
bonded together in
equality:
Participating in their purposes
combining ,each their strengths
the load to share:
Weathered with the storms of life on its face
enduring through
eternity:
Dark rains drains down,
Down the ages of time,
Time in times of timing,
And the terms of turning ages,
To understand invite nature,
Says the greater fortunes redeemed,
What haunts the past, hunts the present , haunts the future;
Time is not in cage, but those in it are;
To save only a Rock can,
The Rock is here, and the Son’s voice says no more,
No-more Flipping pages to the edges
Back to the origins
Origins of Pages in ages of ages,
With the original case of the curse
Again I hear the Rock that breaks the cages say:
I’m the Rock of ages,
Follow and you shall be my soil,
By my oil, you shall not toil,
Even greater misfortunes shall be redeemed
Naomi is and my all,
Soil of ages

Greek word for Christ,
The Star Spangled Banner gently undulates o'er this noble nation,
The symbol of freedom since this country's turbulent creation.
Though trampled upon and debased by many around the earth,
The flag has become a beacon of hope since the moment of its birth!
On June 14, 1777, The Congress adopted the flag of our nation,
With thirteen stars and stripes representing a new constellation!
Valiant patriots from that genesis down to this very day,
Paid the price upholding the flag and liberties we enjoy today.
O'er many decades, gallant soldiers clashed in awful strife,
In Civil War and upon foreign soil defending our way of life.
Midst the throes of battle and clouds of billowing smoke,
Eyes e'er on that tattered banner, their ranks never broke!
The grand old flag is proudly carried in small town parade,
And from courthouse spires it is prominently displayed.
In the local cemetery, tiny flags decorate a hero's grave,
To honor him for the sacrifices he so unselfishly gave.
The final tribute for which Old Glory is displayed,
Is to blanket the bier upon which honored heroes are laid.
The clarion notes of "Taps" wafts hauntingly through the air,
As faithful warriors are committed to His tender and loving care.
