Best Marks Poems


Stretch Marks

A foot of water
Barely blurs them
The pinkish bruises
Spanned like hands
Across my hips

I press my fingers to them
Try to align them with the crooked broken lines
That tear across my body

They are violet roads
On a map that is me
Starting pale at the backs of my knees
Stretch to meet the butterflies
That touch and leave
And touch and leave
The tall tall grass

And they gently circle my breasts
Where I fold the grass
Beneath my back
Find eyes that aren't mine
And kiss
Kiss 
Kiss

And they wrap tight around my thighs
Leaving dark deep grooves
Somewhere dead
And new
Where his face is suddenly old to me

And I wash it from my skin
Wash it away
Away
Away

X marks the spot




Monstrously Machievellian

Demonic pedagogic

Ominously Orwellian

Demagogic logic 

Fools’ Musk-ovite mules

Zuckerberg zeitgeist heist

Dickensian dystopia rules

Google last post bugle 

Fossil fuels myopia drools

Bellicose Bezos blows

Bro-ligarchy mates’ malarkey

Unions demonstrate

Amazon defenestrate 

Hades Gates hierarchy

In the dock

Murdoch foxy skulduggery

Poxy TikTok runs amok

Crass puns..shock thuggery

This lot don't give a jot
.
Bitter sh**ter Twitter

Greedier needier seedier

The death of mass media

X marks the spot!

Forbidden Marks

Your easy motions set ablaze a hunger only my skeleton knew of 
Uncontrollably, my mind orbits the images of your nakedness instilled deep in my head
My innocent heart fails to cage the jungle of thoughts unleashed by your acts and doings
It is now too late to hunt. 
I am enticed by the forbidden marks you left close to my heart.


Premium Member Five Graceful Marks of a Believer - 1 Peter 3: 8

As believers, it's good to be united
in thoughts having unity of mind
going forward in the one purpose
sharing God's light never be blind

Having a spirit of kind sympathy
showing compassion to those in need
being the one God wants you to be
this is such a privilege planted HIs seed

God has set in believers His own heart
implanted there His own spirit of love
a love looking out for all the Lord's own
for having God's love is always enough

In every believer is a heart bathed in truth
but it needs planted with water every day
the water sprinkled all over in God's word
so showing tenderness of heart to stay

The final requirement is a humble mind
one who is filled with meekness so clear
as well as a mind that's truly humble
to always bless knowing God's ever near

("Finally, all of you, have unity of mind, sympathy, brotherly love, a tender heart, and a humble mind.")

1 Peter 3: 8 (ESV)


Premium Member X Marks the Spot

Once a year, it's the season, I fear
That lures us three, to the loch
Were we rent a boat, in earnest we hope
To catch all the fish, that they stock

McGee, he was rowing, I told him, "Start Slowing"
For here, looks like a good spot
The anchor cast in, by our big strong friend, Finn
I'm just glad he remembered the knot 

It didn't take long, we were hit by a throng
Seemed like, every dam fish in the lake
We all wore a grin, while we pulled them all in
'Cause we didn't have time to use bait

When the Day was done, so was our fun
As our boat was filled to the brim
I fumbled about, and pull up some stout
As the Sun was now getting dim

As we sat their all drinking, Finn started thinking
I wish we could find our way here
Or mark this grand hole, so we would all know
The place we should fish, come next year

That's when McGee, said "I know the key"
Then produced a piece of white chalk
"I'll mark on the bow, the place we are now
So next year we'll know we ought !

Finn then gave in, as he said with a grin
'It's your Genius, McGee that I fear
But how do you know, as rentals will go
We'll be getting the same boat next year"


Premium Member Stretch Marks Are Sexy

With this woman, I want to be chummy,
even if she has a larger than average tummy.
She is quite a beauty before my eyes.
All of her charms are in extra-large size.
I love those stretch marks on her hips and thighs.
Taking me in her arms is what I fantasize.
This doll has two large breasts and a big round rump.
I don't care at all that she is a bit too plump.
Even though this woman consumes too many calories,
she has got all the tools that more than please.

Marks

Tattoos and whiskey
Cigarette marks on her skin
Footprints on sand.

Premium Member Dumb Luck - Oh, and Ifya Don'T Know, I Wish Question Marks Were a Choice In Titles

**** **** **** ****.
There.
I got it outa my system.

The duck and the truck
met the buck and the other duck

and they all live happily thereafter.

Beauty Marks

I like mine!
I think they're sublime!
They're round and dark.
The perfect example of a beauty mark.

They're a connection to my family.
'Cause my aunt has the exact marks like me.
It's funny how similiarites can make you feel special.
The moles are natural marks, not from make-up in commercials.

I know for most people this might seem strange.
At times there marks you'd rather rearrange.
But I really like mine!
I think they're sublime!

Premium Member Who Cares ,,, Blah Colon Dang, the Two Things I Wish For Ps Is Bumps and Question Marks

I don't have to tell you,
You know.

You do have to tell me,
'cause I don't.

Razor's edge.

Stand your ground.

Or maybe we could talk it out?

Women know stuff

Howard Marks, a Clerihew

So, farewell, Howard, Mr Nice
Massive reefers were your vice
Life’s but a spliff to puff and pass
All grass is weed, all flesh is grass

Premium Member Skid Marks In the Sky

Like angels of death
they feared no evil
the best that ever flew.

So with wings at stake
downed aircraft thunder
across the skies of blue.

Pilots are proven mortal
when mishaps occur in flight
as falling planes, a ball of flames.

Leave skid marks in the sky..

.....Dedicated to Navy Pilots....

Actual military photo of the morning after the accident.
