Some people become targets and attacked
                    Projection like a bullet
                    Diversion from others

If we ever needed humor, it's NOW
Some may think it's inappropriate somehow
Need a diversion
Need a distraction
Anything to help, some way, some how...

Ever walk behind a bowlegged person
You see the path without any exertion
The pitfalls ahead
Are nothing to dread
If his dangly thing isn't a diversion...

Let’s not be corrupt nor take to diversion
Let us just love 
without any exertion and
Let us eat lettuce for Vitamins A, C & K
Good for our health
Love lettuce today....

Uneducated Elated 

Only Trump supporters were ever elated;
All low lives who are not highly educated;
Subject change,
And re-arrange;
Another distinguished diversion created.

Ladybugs
outline the memory of my childhood,
marking the pathway of my approach

Orange and black
like Halloween candy corn, 
tempting diversion—they lure to encroach

Fairy tales and make believe,
Incredible life changing adventures,
Characters that come alive,
Time after time after time.
Intense emotions are displayed,
Overwhelming odds overcome in a
Nice diversion from reality.

Webster's defines “bum” as a lazy street person
Aside from the lazy aspect, I have a different version
Female bums are why men exist
Ogling their assets so hard to resist
Ignoring them is difficult, but it's a delightful diversion...

Nothing's really broken you just don't know how to proceed
You're scared that your dreams are over if you can't make what you need
Life hasn't been that easy but it's never been that hard
It's always you and your efforts that leave you bruised and scarred...

Webster's defines “bum” as a lazy worthless person
Aside from the sitting aspect, I have a different version
Female bums are why men exist
Ogling these assets so hard to resist
Ignoring them is difficult, but it's a delightful diversion...

 Our genial Jewish friend, Gershon

Pursues poetry for a diversion  

For Russia, he has much disdain

A wolf defending Ukraine

His poems are marked by precision

think
  of nothing
weigh
measure..
       relax:
pleasure
is
pleasure
       vast
       varied
yet
brief..
        yes
        a diversion:
a vanity
     of life
            indeed:
rest
the eye ...
           such things
long remain...
       in memory...

DIVERSION

distraction abides
digression paints winds of change
departure conveys impending schedules
disclaimer as others watch their flowers grow
diverting fear from life’s ebb and flow
deterrents will come and go
disputing certain

DIVERSION

Diversion

An Old Bridge 
hangs by a 
thread. A miller
of Dee in a 
mirage singing, 
his voice 
trembling, the 
tide below 
rising. That 
sandstone as red, 
keen and 
stubborn, waiting 
for the coming of 
that recipe sat 
on top of the 
patient 
blueprint. The 
droplet on its 
border. Absence 
of words....

The wonder of life
that each obstacle becomes a lesson
Wether overt or covert 
by  increased exertion of all powers at hand
something will speak a solution
A problem stopped
in a manner that appears to be perfect
and out of this illusion is created
a new diversion for self- discovery

Deep in the forest
of a wanton tomorrow
two virgins sullied forth

One but a temptress
from loves inquisition
the other devil sourced

Together they exit
where fear is incepted
to course on different paths

One a diversion
distracting our vision
— the other Queen of Wrath

I, of infinity, I grasp
the reins of the foul
breathed beast.
The dragon of
our paltry mountain,
the specter who judges
our endless diversion.
And from the colorless
echoes of the void, I,
of infinity, watch
as the cloud grows.
The cloud that will
devour you
and your dragon
and your mountain
and your souls....

When dusky, purple clouds cross the restless sky,
the angry moon frowns with whispered sigh.
Darkened storms threaten to weep,
discouraging sleep
where dreamers
lie.
Star streamers
stare and proudly peep,
promising soft light will sweep
welcome diversion to weary eye
when dusky, purple clouds cross the restless sky....
