Caught up in, excitement and fun
Watch where you go
Before you know
You might slip and fall on your bun!...

On the Runthe robust red fox
midst emerald field —
bilocation
he’s there, he’s here
in my heart, still on the run

Nude On the Run NUDE ON THE RUN
It is a boring day at the beach.
See a nude with his laptop out of reach.
Singular of boars —
His laptop they score
It is a boar-ing day at the beach.

Words On the RunPoetic intention,
hiding in Prose
Misplaced and misspoken,
as every Bard knows
A narrative run on,
words littered about
Neither beauty nor truth
—masked in self doubt

Possums On the Run - Part 4
"Possums on the Run - Part 4"
Stars in the sky,
he sits on his back steps,
he’s thinking of all his dreams,
his one true love, his sadness
HER dreams all come undone,
“Which star’s the sign of Cancer?”
he ponders, watching the fence line,
The sun has well and...

Possums On the Run - Part 3
"Possums on the Run - Part 3"
Collecting cut
silver blue grass
carries garbage bags
green-ant bites, no siree,
this aint fun.
Stand guard, he’s the
lawn mower Pope
(she laughs)
on his ever vigilant run.
Look on him with sadness
Look on him with Love
“one less mouth to feed”,
she thinks,
“best to run...

Possums On the Run - Part 2
"Possums on the Run - Part 2"
No ice cream,
cupboard’s bare
ultra Fahrenheit sun,
hang out the clothes
do the dinner run,
setting table,
setting sun,
Can of Irish Stew, mashed potatoes,
Baked Beans, toast -
no Sunday Roast -
cordon blue, delectable, what fun…
Fruit Bats flying,
Yellow crested...

Possums On the Run - Part 1
"Possums on the Run - Part 1"
Well she ran away
danced the F.U.
Revolutionary Dance
Jokers are trumps
Euchre, 500,
Queens Slippers
no Deuce, no Romance
Holey holy
blue jeans torn and buried
underneath the house
with uneaten sandwiches
going mouldy in plastic lunch bags,
old unwanted items, school books
torn pages,...

Santa On the RunSANTA ON THE RUN
The night before Christmas, Santa was late
Packing up his sleigh would just have to wait
He had diarrhea bad
The worse case he ever had
Caused by the bologna sandwich he ate
Rudolph and friends were in such a tizzy
They knew Santa had been very busy
The...

Moon On the RunWhile moonlight fades from day parades
for battles lost or won;
and city lights show dimly bright
their nightly random glow,
we tell the tales of mystery
as minstrel songs are sung
to spirits of the silent night
reconstituting Poe.
Compassionate communion made
as all...

Ballad
A Fugitive On the RunI robbed a bank today
Suprisingly
I got away
The cops were just seconds behind
The money so much money
is mine
I cant believe
I pulled it off
Just a hoodie, bandana,
and a plastic gun airsoft
I told that teller
give it all to me
So scared
so frightened was she
put in...

Devil On the Run Lucifer Satan Chained Placed In the Lake of FireDEVIL ON THE RUN Lucifer Satan Chained Placed in the Lake of Fire
Devil on the run;
Devil on the run;
Demons spit and howl;
Crying to their master;
In pangs and in the spirit;
You don’t wanna go near it;
Demons dwells;
Demons sell;
Sold their eternity for hell;
Devil on the run;
Devil on...
