My Moments

Moments of fascination
Sounds of distraction
Feelings of longing
Dreams scattered
Fears of trembling 
Happiness everlasting

Premium Member Louella

Louella was a distraction
Giving us boys satisfaction
We loved her chassis
She was a fine lassy
And always ready for action

Premium Member Naked Coffee

Neuroses become elated 
that high cannot be deflated;
Lusty infatuation 
without distraction;
Coffee’s running around naked.

Go Pokemon Go

kids get distraction 
oh I love Pokemon Go
parents get action
once I've had a Peek-at-chu
can't wait to play Poke the mom

Forever Within

Religion ...
the great distraction
Redemption ...
a grand surmise
Belief
in something outward bound
His essence
— deep inside

Get to be living in distraction and some denial,
As she will soon ascend to Heaven in a little while.
Living life behind this biggest lie of a falsely happy smile.

Sick slick trick playing down on you Mesmerized your eyes with keys to nothing The miracle of the Xanadu Surpassed all maniacal distraction

Distraction

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?

Trump a Major Distraction

Trump A Major Distraction

Decided Trump is major distraction,
And trying to gain own satisfaction;
Never are sure,
If known cure;
Failures were due to much inaction.

sparkling eyes dance
                   long curl of golden hair

Premium Member Mildly Amusing Limerick 4

A beauteous Miss felt attraction, 
And she loved her man Kane to distraction, 	
When friends questioned her love, 
Well she gave them a dove, 
Warned, ‘You all best stay clear of my action!

Distraction

2 exercise regimens,
4 movies,
12 books,
26 CDs,
77 shows,
98 piano songs to be learned,
339 pictures to be taken,
And yet,
There is nothing
Much to do,
But to sleep
And dream of you.

Once She Leaves

once she gets out of this house
i will regain my inspiration
to do my work
she's distraction
i don't know what i feel
when she's around
she's got to go
my work is a much more future than her

Carnal Sensibility

If love is blind, then what is carnal attraction?
Untuned fidelity can be quite the fatal distraction. 
A novel connection conjoins souls between me and new.
What is a twisted nail but a substitute screw?

The False 4th Estate

“Truth
a distraction”
the media pouts
Constricting
those voices
trying to shout
Dumber
than dumb
brain dead by degree
Digging new graves
for the few
— still left free

(Dreamsleep: April, 2024)
Form: Rhyme

Over-Mused

Words
clamor
and curdle
into ripened, 
red embolisms
of vulgar syllables
that dam fresh inspiration
with futile, vagrant dissonance.
I diagnose my swollen fingers
as unfortunate strokes of distraction.

I'M Here

When the World is beating you down, I'm 
around through every mood, good or bad
You're my downfall, you're my muse
My worst distraction, my best addiction,  
my rhythm and blues
I can't stop thinking of you.
Form:

protest

They say the news is a distraction
Yet anytime we see an issue and demand action 
They call us a terrorist faction 
We use our freedom of speech
Saying we wish to impeach
We all get singled out each by each

Gun Bang

A marksman high on the ridge 
a silhouette against the dusky sky
a gun bang and then thunder
still he holds form
strong legs do not tremble but remain
the grey clouds moving in circular fashion
distraction
gun bang

Revelation

The older I get,
  the more distant they seem

The past and the future,
  reality’s dream

The older I get,
  the deeper it feels

Distraction aborted
  —the moment revealed

Premium Member Distraction In Homeroom

Distractions in eight grade homeroom are complete today
As I see the finger shaped glasses on my friend Gray
He always pushes the teacher near the edge of the cliff.
I see her biting her fingernails, her hair and her lip.
