I stood
Defying gravity
Frowned
Denying levity
Wrote poems
Extolling brevity
Dodged much of life’s
Severity
Now wrestle with
Longevity
The Hayne plane took America by storm,
The Yanks soon realised he was not the norm,
He dodged through gaps
As he downed his flaps,
The opposition looked quite forlorn.
The skies turned dark gray
Weather alert on my phone
Tornado warning
Heading for here, take shelter
Somehow, I dodged a bullet
Heidi Sands

Mom and Dad dodged the mid-July sun—
in the shaded pool, having such fun.
Then their three little kids
started blowing their lids:
”That’s OUR pool. Please go buy yourselves one!”
Dodged by the flock, Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer
proves himself an ace navigator-cum-mountaineer,
safely leads Santa’s sleigh through frosty dark night,
for he has a snout of crimson flare that shines bright.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Never used an umbrella
He dodged raindrops
Like a criminal flees cops
Wiggling like a bowl of jello
A dim a dozen
A determined day dominator
As a dim dark dominance by lights
A dozen dooms domestically
A dodged fountain the cry of dogs
A denounce to announce a drum dance
As dams develop damps the duck
A duckling's life already dead.
This old madam bought a big Christmas tree,
size could be problem she did not foresee.
Low level door frame it hit,
on dewed lawn she let it sit.
She dodged mind’s radar while on shopping spree.
Strumming against rooftops
overlapping gutters
flooded sidewalks
summers heat brings intense storm
trees bow down
as if to shelter
the young and old from the storm
who have dodged fierce heavy drops
that heaven has sent
for earth to quench its thirst
They lurk about
Think no one sees
They stalk believing
No one knows
They’re there
Hushed implicit
In the night
Slithering about
Disguised
Concealed
Dodged
Eluded
Getting off
On being ignored
The dark shadows
Lurking in the night

once upon a time
we laughed
clutched hands
and loved shamelessly
fearlessly protective
when her back was turned
I caught every arrow
dodged every snare
swallowed every poison
until I gasped for breath
reaching for a hand
that is no longer there
once we were Titans
The station wagon hurtled
through the grey of early morning;
a sudden dash of red betrayed a robin.
A rabbit dodged the churning wheels,
a flash of grey, and it was gone.
Snapped images are processed,
embedded or discarded;
some will stick while others fade away.
You said you dodged a bullet.
If I was the bullet,
Then I shot myself.
And barely grazed you.
If I was the bullet
Then I killed myself.
And left you with a scar.
Alternatively,
If I am the bullet,
Then I shot myself.
And you got hurt trying
To intercept pain that was not
Yours to take.
We took a tin of tea to town
To play and picnic in the park
As carefree children chased the clown
And danced and dodged all day till dark.
The simple sounds of silence still
Were happily inside my head
When freely formed from fright and frill -
Before the beauty broke and bled.
Freedom is a captivating illusion
Just a dream you know
She seduces the naïve
And keeps the simple believing
Those who live that dream
Become victims of seduction
Fewer decide differently
And then forever
Fight the fetters
Which trap them in the truth
Dodged by default
With innocent arrogance
By the unbelieving
Are you a bullet dodged, or a bullet lodged
Deep within my heart
I feel so alive as you’re killing me
Tingling in the tangles of betrayal
Am I your victim or my own prisoner
Locked, tied and bound
I cannot move on with or without you
Hope and desire wrestles violently with strength and courage
If I cut the tie, will I die or will I fly
Away
Comeback God sacked a craft sassed to last /
Grasp no slack or sag with the rap slap/
Pressure the bag and tip of the cap /
Coder crack hat and lift that latch /
Off the docket and out the casket /
Almost a tragic trashed hit had him cashed in /
Dodged that tactic now have the out to last kit /
Hoss’s odds lodged a socket to play with any ratchet
I am hungry
I could not eat
Thirsty,
I could not drink
Sweating profusely,
I could not shower
Aching stomach
I could not care less
Father called
I did not respond
Mother sent for me
I did not go
Friends and folks looked for me
I dodged them
Except i see you
Except hear your voice
Except you become mine
Oh! Most wanted of women
I got buzzed by a pesky blue bottle
To evade it I started to tottle
I reached for the bug spray
But the fly dodged away
Then dive bombed at my head at full throttle
I purchased a fly swatting racket
So cheap it did not cost a packet
When I hit a fly
One touch and they die
It saves me from having to whack it!

My poor dead frog
what has happened to you?
Jumping happily and eating
swimming the waters deep
you laughed and loved
dodged the cars and children
leapt on your lily-pads, smiled
you were complete
then I found you, free as 2-D
smashed and dried
lying stiffly in unmoving hands
on the pavement where I placed you
Snap! My camera says
You are dead but immortalised
Form:
Nantucket was a bully in town
And he pushed everyone around
From storekeepers to clerks
He had no special perps
Until he met Black-flag
Who gave him a special tag
Nantucket ducked and dodged
But Black-flag fist was too large
Nantucket was tag not once but twice
That changed him from nasty to nice
Right now, he’s a bully no more
Because Black-flag tossed him out the door
My love has gone
She's left me alone
Not answering her phone
Not a faint dial tone
She threatened to leave
I didn't want to believe
Her friend named Steve
A heart stealing thief
She branded me impossible
Complaint's of my lifestyle
My bad habits are vile
Dropped me in the single pile
Maybe I dodged a bullet
Her fingers out of my wallet
She's Steve's little hornet
Sting you in a moment
Time thus spent of little thought
Treasure found adventure sought
Glassy pond in churning sea
Here our minds now seem to be
For so it is that we have learned
Fury dodged or tempest spurned
Come back to us thus as a dream
As star or moon in silvery beam
So to find then as we see
Ours is such a day of glee
Naught we have of treasure bought
Nor time thus spent of little thought

After a regular gap
She comes in my nap
To sell dreams
In my sweet dreams.
Her smile makes nervous
Sufficient to remain blank
Me as slave have no more options
To buy fake dreams in real dreams.
What she says
What she does
Doesn't matter
Does slave like me have more choice.
Dodged, dodging
Not only me but all
But her charm
Force me to go hell.
Do you know,
Who is she?
Election
Too long you’ve dodged the pendulum of life
Skipping between the strokes of the clock
Dancing away the hope of dreams
Making a mockery of parents judicial advice
Time it is to get serious wipe the play from off your lives
Run to the fields and plant your goals
What you sow you shall surely reap
