Best Distraction Poems

I meant to do my work today
Instead I spied a nest among the maple leaves
 where birds were singing in the trees
   and others splashing soft brown wings 
              ...

Driven to Distraction

Can’t help it
Can’t do anything about it
An innocent photo
Fantasizes
Her word repeated
Re-read and re-initiated
Touches
Swims me through 
Her soul
Finds my spirit
Traversing the spaces
Hanging with kisses

She repeats
And replete
On tantalizings
Almost tasted
I fall
Control-less
Can’t help it
Can’t do anything about it
In the images
She painted
Enchanted
The rick and cot
Of desire
In sheets and...

I don't have this moment
But I feel I need it
Every now 
and again I drift towards a window
Losing concentration for a second

Some boys forget their mom's words,
they leave for school in a mad rush
with uncombed hair looking like nerds;
in the classroom they have a crush.
Liz, their teacher, wears tight jeans,
they can't concentrate on the test;
she's happy for attracting the teens,
their girlfriends notice their unrest.
They hate their...

sparkling eyes dance
                   long curl of golden hair

Must I hear the word "cool "one more time 
Blaring from movies, TV in a time called prime

The only thing prime about prime time TV
Is its effort to seek out just how annoying it can be
Words like COOL, SEXY, TEENAGER are like the
itch of a...

Distraction in fashion-

I'm on board with reaction,

I show my teeth,
in a deep-deep passion,

jig real hard,
when I feel the traction,

just like the lord,
I soar over fracture,

...entice the past with a rapture,

endure tell-all,
just like ‘I sell-all,'

when feet fall,
I am still tall,

I hand the weight over to the...

Distracted 
But I'm counter active

I stay active
That Makes me the action

Tactics I've mastered
Make me a master

I'm 
Plastered in innocent souls of by passers 

But Shattered
Like glass is
Hearts not captured

Blood splatters 
Never matters
Put a napkin 
On the puddle
Subtle is the sound of deception

Distraction
There it goes again
Low...

She calls you up and speaks your name
you change your plans like that
Now you'll never get through
what you started to do
Intentions all squashed flat

She walks in from the bus stop
her feet are soaking wet
In fuzzy slippers, flowered shawl
and burgundy fish nets

Her braided hair is frizzy...

Such an irritating act
When you're are gravely focused
And your brain in a snap
Comes up with a flash
of Johnny Depp
on the red carpet
smoking an e-cigarette!
Now, just WTH is that?...

I must turn my attention away from the scene
This rapidly darkening dreadful dream
Games I will play or books I will read 
Yea will I smoke til my mind is freed
Til the tempest is past and the land washed clean

To silence the Crow and his stabbing...

Heavenly Distractions
 
Heavenly distractions Gods divine guidance that will set you in an idle space of quietness
Away from all the noxious noise
Where you are only able to hear his voice commands and promises
Instilling in us that indescribable peaceful poise
 
Heavenly distractions a time when your...

TO A STAR WARS DISTRACTION 

Now a new fantasy
to plug the bleeding vein
flowing with the captures’ blood
flowing from ruptured injustice vessels
pierced by just picks chipping away bigotry
begotten in winters of frost bitten freedoms
frozen in time—that ticking tock
didactic wanderer in the shadowed valley. 

So now enters...

I like hallween
because we can't stop pretending

an outfit on some slinky, hot momma
is reason to act unchained
and we're not unchained enough

people are entwined within their own worlds
too often
to a level
that the rigmarole 
of keeping one's head afloat
is tedious and boring

we need a escape clause...

I like...

All things can tempt me~ I'm a scatter brain
Trying to focus causes a degree of pain
Distracted by a yummy treat or herbal tea
The slightest sounds arouse and sidetrack me
It's all too easy to sway my concentration
Toying with convoluted laws of attraction
My attention spins often on...
