Best Escapes Poems

Leveret scurries
Trained ears, panoramic sight
Saved - by a hare's breath.


Easter Bunny blinks
Burrows the deep undergrowth
Close shave this morning...

Turning salt mixes within the desert sand 
fired clay dipped inside a deeply moulded shell 
from the blood flowing straight into feathers

A wing speaks from four chambers as an echo 
holds a silent moment paused touching oceans mist 
A sky burns red as the sun...

Don't tease me with words,
they fly away uncaged birds
and none fill the lines
except the ink flow unused 
as it waits release to speak....

Woe, to touch the winter’s soul
The depths of slumber
Once filled whole
My heart it trembles at the thought
That it could be ensnared

Assuming then my true control
My might and virtue
I now extol
My heart awakens knowing well
Its life has just been spared...

Desperate Escapes
                          By Odin Roark

They see only what they need,
That desire to see beyond
The heat and squalor,
The effrontery to their...

"Beauty Escapes"
 by: Eric L. Boddie

Things about you ignite the deepest desire
 Because your frame is like a flame, hotter than the sun's fire
 Youthful sexiness trapped in Beautiful bliss
 A mere glance into your eyes makes you too hard to resist
 Envied by woman....coveted...

A little bit before the usual time
My mind dawned in spite of the short time dozed
I didn’t even plan to have it as I have
But least known to my thoughts
Today was the day long destined by fate to be mine

A few minutes passed as current...

Behind the sun, with a little bit of assuredness, I saw the shades of his smile
swing toward the moon...
and I cursed six p.m. In a voice that hid the memories of
nineteen~ninety~two
when I wore my shoes underneath the shadows of stars and in the feel of...

In our home town of winter wonderland  
we tightened love, snow and sunshine ray 
we built a snowman with twigs at hand  
  
and booted up eagerly ready to upstand   
up and down we jumped happy and gay 
in our...

They hang from older buildings
To provide a way to flee
From a fire or another type
Of grim catastrophe.

“West Side Story’s” hero, Tony,
(Just like Romeo) did vouch
To Maria all his love
While on one’s surface she did crouch.

Countless films and TV dramas
Often use one as a base
For a...

A dream escapes my
grasp of time,
I float, I float, I float blind.
Through kaleidoscope
scars I bear,
my fears mingle with
rattlesnake snares,
and ticking, spinning
clockworks chime and chime,
like death’s  rasp, and repetitious 
rhyme.

I’ll lend you these thoughts:
I keep them in a glass vile,
and I’ll wait for the best...

i wish i could write a poem utilizing symbolism

it escapes me

it escapes me amidst the din

it escapes me amidst the clamor

it escapes me against racing bipolar mind

racing thoughts of self esteem

of crushing sense of sensibility

of world feeling crushed

i wish i could write all these things

Two fingers trapped in a tinkle
Tap dance on the last
The ivories louder and louder
The notes spinning, spinning so fast

Unleashing the whirlwind it does twirls about the room
The magical piano from which a dust devil makes his escapes
“POOF” thrust into darkness…
As the twister steals the candles...

Ralph Escapes the Big House

By Elton Camp

It’s a life sentence with no parole allowed
“No prison can hold me,” Ralph vowed

Ralph found a loose stone in his cell
It helped to bribe the guard as well

An escape tunnel he then began to bore
Every night, he worked on...

Levity escapes me as the sun fades
Long shadows reach out to join in darkness
Silence gives way to a humming moonrise
Stealthy scents tempt predatory patience

Red eyes gaze into hungers haunting need
Soft feet muffle the presence of the prey
The subtlety of motionless movement
Awaiting the starters pistol of...
