quick brown urban fox
dodges howling hounds from hell

River Theft – Haiku

Predator bird swoops
Bug dodges down to river
Trout bites, swallows whole...

Santa’s loaded sleigh,
Streaking past the Christmas moon;
Dodges bats and drones.

I heard a saying long before
Too many cooks spoil the broth sure
I think it proves right
With one another they fight
The man dodges or they little to share.

Sticky vanilla drips over his tiny pinky.
Rainbow sprinkled lips smile gratitude.
His face dodges mother`s attempt to destroy his delight.
The waffle softens in his palm,
Teeth clenched,he devours soggy leftovers.
It is a global warming sort of Ice cream day....

Instantaneous is the time to live,
That's why I don't have time not to live...
Life flows through pores, fingers, hands, feet.
 with my feet I run, with my head I invent new formulas... alive
  to reinvent, I try to retain time
of life, but it quickly always changes and so...always dodges.... !...

Junkyard cat 
escaping every human
climbing over Plymouths and Dodges,
Hiding in rusty jalopies 
that used to carry Grandpas
to potential grandma’s for courting.

Junkyard cat
slinking in and out
Hoping an old woman
will take pity and leave food
She rarely does
Thinking that might
Curb your mousing...

Tail-flag high
white
hell, no, not surrender
a baton
to follow 
as its fuzzy owner
dodges
hops
bounces
over boulders
ducks
under pricklies
hippity 
skippity
through grass
turn-look 
make sure
the follower is close
but behind - yup,
ok, then
onward!
prancing
straining
tugging 
on the string 
that holds
him back...

Rufus is a Bad Captain,
Who hides behind Good Curtain:
Others could supervise
But not for Troublesome Vice,
Nice words for Matrimony,
None helps its harmony;
For hours readily speaks
But no treasured point leaks...

Hopes to men ginger forward,
Yet dodges talks of Reward;
Every fresh year, a New Age 
Still opens not A New Page...

Freedom, gone fishing!
          The Peaceful Transfer of Power?
          One Nation, stolen by Fraud,
          With Liberty and Justice for none?
          Tragically, our National Guard sleeping 
          in garages
          All questions, new regime dodges.

*Ding*
The bell rings
First movements
A few of punches
Dodging
Blocking
*Ding*
The round is over

*Ding*
The bell rings
Faster movement
More punches
Less dodging
More blocking
Pace yourself
*Ding*
The round is over

*Ding*
This time around
No games
No pacing
Intense
Blow after blow
Missed dodges
Back on the ropes
Can't stop
Won't quit
Hold in
Do it all
It's not over
Not until you hear the
*Ding*
Life is over...

rich white spoiled brat
dodges draft 
talks about struggles
and patriotism
for OTHERS

hypocritical self-serving
amoral being
talks about
ethics and laws for Others
and goes his own perverted ways


political outsider insider  
speaks 
but does not listen 
makes noise 
but no sense 

supposed entertainer
plays with himself
produces black comedy 
and tragedy
tweeting like a white crow

bully bragger
coward
someday someone 
will confront him 
and kick OUR  behinds...
