Make Work Poems | Examples


Learn To Let Go

You cannot make work everything as per your plans
As there is already a roadmap 

You cannot fix all the misunderstandings
As there is already a home built for trust issues

Don't put efforts to make undesired connections 
As connections are not for long lasting 

Follow mindfulness 
As karma is real which hits in its way

Make a habit of smiling 
As that is the only expression to live a tough life

Learn to let go of things 
As they are not permanent in temporary world

Sartorial

Pairs of casual uniforms 
To make work days in with the norms 
Polo shirts in greens and blues 
To jive with the earthly hues 

Artful shirts in black and white
Tone that's pleasing to the sight 
Simple wears, so calm to see 
Bring the young days to memory 

Wears of new and wears of old 
Fun memories are always gold 
I always keep those old to last 
They give me glimpse of faded past 

Levi's jeans of seventies 
Bring the dawning memories 
Of the times when world was right 
We needed not much for the night

Wears in simple, wears in plain 
Grooming plainly is a gain 
Gold and diamond, not a fad 
For in bronze, I shall be glad

Pluto and the Origin of Hades

They said that some men had the callings of planets,
Stationary compared to mortals,
Abstinent and moral,
That the energy they were given to live,
Attracted others like a Sun would give,
That they were gods amongst men third person,
Always asking men to ascend,
Man didn't know that that calling was from earth,
When the people need to change they are brought to make work,
That means God on earth that needs respect,
If the people try as equals the problems are what we neglect.
Osiris came before the people and said,
Just go away and leave me with my bread,
So it was said but the people didn't know,
Some people like to connect but he said go,
That means no speech no annoying not at all,
And death fell on the people too close to be a call,
When Osiris gave birth to the ideas of man,
He said never enter my head as the dead he had command,
Do not try me with such a big heart,
It shall be weighed against my efforts to be above what you do,
From the very start,
The man that was an island.

Each seeming small challenge 
we all face each & every day
occurs as a repeated test
to see if we can make work play

The slightest flicker of agitation
during day to day mundanity
signals ego borne stagnation 
attachment disturbing serenity

It is only when we truly transcend
affinity to the subtlest ego urge
that we obviate need to reincarnate 
divine entwined in a bliss surge

(Dedication: To My Friends, 
known and unknown, and
Everyone at PoetrySoup.)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



Love wears a face of sensuous grace,
Joy works fond trace to flood sweet pace.


Watch how love mimes such profound chimes,
Sense vivid times in hidden rhymes.


Words now greet flow in work that shows,
Peace and charm glow where love can grow.


Seize then this day to make time pay,
Make work yield play from day to day.


See love bring cheer now far and near,
Feel poise most clear in feelings dear.


On Valentine's, watch love align,
Feel moments fine where symbols sign.


Cupid's on call as footsteps fall,
Live beyond gall as love heals all.

Amaze each step with inspired verse,
Words sketch mind map to eclipse purse.


Come to know truth when beauty speaks,
Wonder weaves proof as soul finds peaks.


Love is the cause of stuff and things,
The journey course is what time brings.


There is a dance upon the waves,
So take a chance to live most brave.


Try to see quest as something good,
Just do your best to sculpt your moods.


Live just this day with focus clear,
Make work your play and walk with cheer.


It's not too hard to brave one day,
Thus said the bard whose rhymes now stray.


There is a space for many births,
Sing of this place: this Mother Earth.


Joy frames profound such happy daze,
Love holds the ground in poignant maze.

The Favorite Son

'Incapability,
has often been termed  to as
probability;
irresponsibility,
is responsible for
the unavailability
of the knowledge
of invisibility,

Adaptability,
has its benefits,
but in this world
of artists,
a capable human
is one,
who want to become
the favorite son,
get all things done,
with a feeling of
love, affection 
& compassion,
keeping his eyes wide open,
while realizing the fact that,
he's neither a ruler or a king
in this creation, which continuously
sings the songs of glory 
& supremacy
of the Almighty,
working to make work,
all the lives,
theories
& stories.'

Premium Member Blessings

Be willing now to live with zest
Bring your know-how to venture quest


Seek the sure way to live fine gains,
Make work your play in sun and rain.


Do word each day with actual ease,
More flows in play when cheer funds peace.


Life pays you well if you believe,
Joy casts the spell as claim achieves.


Act upon words that spread fond joy,
Practice is heard in surge and ploy.


All things spring forth as joy appeals,
Keep heading north where wealth reveals.


Blessings know grace in visual form,
Knowing syncs face to claim grand norms.


Look up and see things come to be,
Taste now truly the magic sea.


More and more sum the way of truth,
See grand outcomes in waves of proof.

You Can Build a Life If You Care

If ten unemployed people formed a group
if ten people saved only ten dollars a week
after the first week they would have
One hundred dollars to invest

One hundred dollars would buy
equipment to wash and dry cars
a start on the road to make work
a start to build better life perks

If ten unemployed people formed a group
after only six weeks they would have 
six hundred dollars my friend
enough to buy tools for the road

A lawn mower sharpens the day
perhaps in landscaping they play
If after two years that ten thousand shares
perhaps it's a second hand shop

Investing in you
perhaps it is true
you can build a life 
if you care.

Perhaps with stock from Ebay
and from a shed you sell
you can create a future 
that better in the end

This idea is quite simple my friends
but builds to make useful new ends
if each working person
was simply to save 

It could make a future 
for me and for you
Imagine if each working person
saved ten dollars a week as a group

we could build jobs for our future 
we could build jobs for our kids
we could build jobs to stop staving
the children are hungry for food

Live bold passion
Take sure action


Let purpose seed
All that you need


Give love clear voice
Live cheery choice


Walk in the light
Where truth gives sight


Look to beauty
To set you free


Be of calm soul
For heart knows whole


Keep mind in check
With feel and tact


Learn to just see
Truth as beauty


This world is good
Glimpse beyond mood


All that you see
Happens to be


Being starts thought
Just string the plot


Make work your fun
Love flings home runs


Do all you can
To understand


All in good time
Reason must rhyme


Go on your way
Enjoy this day


When night comes round
True rest is found


To love is all
For big and small

The End

Nobody know this pain
having to let go
someone that you thought were your world
 Giving up 
after trying to make work
asking myself why did I even try
 Shooting for the stars
only to crash land where it all began
the blueprints were full of errors

2012: Fact and Fiction

The Mayan calendar of ancient times ends
When December 12 of this year rolls around
Old prophesy: or nothing but a clerical error?

Trembling Earth and volcanic fire raining down
Hurricanes sweeping paths of utter destruction
Outer space invading our fragile atmosphere
Ultimate destruction; *****Sapiens extinction
Stinging rain of fire and ice scouring the Earth
An end to life as humans know it; a new start
Nothing left but ashes, dust and sorry survivors
Destruction on scales unseen though out history

The bureaucratic scribe keeps the Mayan calendar
What happens when important business comes in?
Everyone suspends work on the make work project 
Leaving the date at the last day to be penned
Visited by destruction the Mayan culture dies
Enter what amounts to a Typographical error
