Earmark Poems | Examples

civilian

civilian
thoughts and washed plates possibly?
that you own my country or an answer
of assembly and ranks i am unfile-able
above too cream, too polished for beams

an irish american from ireland
and i was saying
this is how we created allow you to learn
i a loud and happy
by bellows and bass
the inordinate coordinate reflex
of my speech is war confronted you, when
yes i am a military measure writer
that describes the universe you inhabit
i am under no obligation to the allegiance you die from
nor is description legal from me to you to use
only as a legitimate means not to condescend
how much power i wield
my influence over earth's fertile blanding
while time came about you all failed us.
we sought to instruct yet the civil war is you
i am general assembly, good day
plagiarism is attempting to earmark theft of my treasury notes

Everyone 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 can
enchanted realms, he has been forbidden
encroaching on poetic graveyards, a sin
ears that hear, eyes that see
escape this villain, run for sanity

Premium MemberSong of The Atropa 'belladonna' No 14: ABBA

As strangleweeds ghost life manifestly,
caused by an Atropa belladonna
exposé mind-bending, marijuana
bears parallel outcomes, yet, it's deathly,
Greek myth Atropos cuts the thread of life
belladonna, a woman of beauty ...
Italian. If eaten, highly deadly,
or plant scrapes open cut, certain wildlife
are unaffected by its consumption ...,
pupil highlighters, cosmetic usage
and medicinal, named Deadly Nightshade
an earmark for historical function,
for it enhances the beauty facials,
and in parts of the world for medicals.

Work-Done Reduces the Burden

Future is a question mark
To those who are damn lazy,
Your portion, time will earmark
And so work hard by being busy,
"Nothing is impossible" is a remark
Made by one with a golden policy,
Come dear, to work, you are welcome
Overcome so that great you become
Outcome of efforts is a huge income
Peace if you want to get
Along with name and fame
Selfishness you must forget
And give no excuses that are lame,
If peace is not had by you yet
Then, only the Almighty is to blame!

If In Doubt About What To Do

If 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 about what to do,
Earmark millions for a purpose built children's playground,
Where they can exercise and lose weight after a hearty breakfast,
  courtesy of the local food-bank.

If in doubt about what to do,
Put in another 50 kilometres of cycle way,
That can withstand a 1 in 100 year climatic event,
In a city that is wind pron and on a major fault line,
Lack of road maintenance funds will justify the project.

If in doubt about what to do,
Don't forget to smile,
As you usher in a new era of prosperity.

Advising Nigerians Outgoing President

To The Now-Pitied President 
No longer thought God-Sent 
The making of superb contacts
For entry into cleaner contracts 
Is a command to avoid patched-up pacts 
And-trust-me – costs you True Logisticians 
Besides Sincere Magicians;
If the packages are not to hit the rocks
Or more keys appear with stubborn locks;
“If truly thou seekest a final Turn Around
That shouldest not later sink underground…”

For stiff orders you might bark
And mighty millions earmark
But Glorified Brains the cracked
And Misjudging Misfits the backed,
Progress, sure, shall slack
And one begins to Loyalists sack
The Guys one once shook their hands drop
And their disarming salaries stop…

Now, you are rather The Outgoing
And faster thoughts won’t be flowing,
For so it goes with injury time
While Careless Clock continues to chime
But there really was an F. Kennedy,
After 100 Days, ready remedy…

So, while this Counseling Milk you suck,
I wish you A Suckling's Good Luck.

Exceeding Hope

Miracles 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 
hope has its power and will  earmark it’s cornerstones to create blessings 
upon which prayers  can exceed  hopelessness and become a pillar

Days are like pages we just thumb through
Everyday every page with so little new
We spend our time as the clock defines
Never really existing, nothing ever perplexing

Love makes us read every word on every page
Love lets us dream of each and every new day
We don't count the hours, it's minutes that pass
Without the one we love,  days last and last
But when together time flies away so fast
Let me earmark the days I spend with you
Happy memories I can recall out of the blue
Highlight each page of the days with you

Life is a novel nobody really reads
Each page is full of shrugging and half deeds
So many pages are better left blank
Love helps us be creative and makes us think
Being together with the pages we write
Our chapters bind us together tight
Days of us we write with love and laughter
Pages of those days are our favorite chapters

Premium MemberShivers Up the Back

SHIVERS UP THE BACK

Taking a dive at an amusement park,
He was taught to notice the arc of sharks.

          Stay out of their way,
          And don’t try to play.

For a shark’s misdirection’s their earmark.

Seed

SEED

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 

The seed needs a fertile land 
The farmer can,t waste its time on unfavorable environment
The seed needs a determined and willed hand 
It needs care and warm treatment 

The seed needs a favored rain
For much as the farmer,s diligence can irrigate,
That alone can,t determine the seed,s fate 
What comes from above nothing can drain 

The seed needs a graced sunshine 
For that  keeps the seed fit and balanced 
The farmer,s ability to reap that which is great and advanced,
Is dependent on factors which are divine 

Finally, the seed needs focus and consistency 
The farmer ought to earmark ample time for its success
How matured the seed will be should be his business
For without that, there may be plant without fruits- lifeless 


Every talent is a seed
And every seed has its need
Whatever the seed will be,
Depends on the farmer-holder of the seed

Ned Kelly Dna

Ned Kelly
DNA
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,
Fred Layton he was
no wuss,
clean-skins they
needed branding,
the law of the bush,
a brand to push,
the T-Bones were
understanding,
100 Dan Kellys tried
to show,
that they were not
Red Herrings,
Alone Steve Hart,
Dungle Bore did go,
double cover in his
bearing,

bloody cunning
so-n-so:}

Traps they knew of
Steves' death too,
his cross in old
Calcutta,
Dan came home alone,
from the Boer War
zone,
as the Leather-heads
do mutter
{birds of the bush}
   Don Johnson

Leatherheads have a
bump of meat on on
top of the beak....a
grey friar bird who
will talk to lonely
people in the
outback

The Path From 911

Asking 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 has this deception, nations laugh
at this demeanor, trusting in contrast
has metered to a standstill in repast
that wimp of selfish leadership's scrolled staff!

Division ~ heaven and hell all justice grasp
if not in our own power ~ to counteract!

Premium MemberDistant Dream Denmark -Win

Life became a sweet song of morning lark
As when Iris spoke to me from Denmark
When first saw her in sensual style mark
Young dreams reached a decisive landmark.

The green days got an important bookmark,           
As I received the message from Denmark.
Hoping life will become the rainbow ark,
When Iris will come into my home park.

My boat was on a smooth sail like a shark
The soil was there, seed here hot and stark
Needed the rain to sow but missed the mark
Unlike Columbus sailed back with no spark.

Dream stays with me, the emotions earmark
Broken heart outlived joy of dream Denmark.

For a Moment Like This

FOR 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.  
For a moment like this, it cannot be forgotten 
Earmark with trust and ardor between you and me, intertwined until  the end of time.

Tracker

TRACKER
A Bushman Tracker knows the way to follow horses here...every hoof is different
He’ll find the track one hoof placed wrong........all have different tracks
And remember it a year!.........If he is an Aussie BushmanTracker
He’d know the colour of the horse 
By the hair left on the ground 
They roll every day of course
Hair left in the rolling mound
An earmark seen on a beast 
Is also logged the same
Remembered on a cow or sheep
If the owner comes to claim
The sun in the down under ……remember if you went south, how far back
The northern sky it sits…….notice when you went west
Watch it never make a blunder…..to find your way, back track
Never lost remember it…..some Trackers pass this test….
Don Johnson
Yes I started out life as a Drover with 1000 head of cattle me and my Dad.
I was 10 when I rode 40 miles to join the herd on the Bollon Stock Route.
Watch the sun and know which way you travel and you will be never lost
