Bob Hope was the most clever "dope"
To cope with the tinsel tightrope
That nosey Limey
Could laugh, "G'blimey"
Whilst eluding Donald Trump's grope!
One tanka ~~ on theme ~~love note~~5/7/5/7/7
Stealthy love is
Like cactus in desert
Thriving for dry air,
Grows up tempestuously
A ghost eluding touch.
Lately time has been eluding me, going by so fast.
It makes me afraid what we have attained again won't last.
But I know most of how we had suffered is now all in the past.
Alluding To Colluding
To what they discussed were alluding,
That it could be concerning colluding;
Usual tricks,
Of politics;
Issue ended up avoiding and eluding.
Jim Horn
zillions-
amounts beyond
our imagination
like the depth of infinity-
worthless
zillions-
open-ended
eluding summation
endless quantities revealing
nothing
My soul is.....
deep, dark, eluding
it's depth hides my
worst fears, pain, and torment
No one knows my emptiness
my soul always shows
kindred, peaceful and unbreakable
full of spirit to carry everyone
Beautiful people
Surround me
Inspiring eyes
Instill me
Eluding desires
Distress me
You tender much more
Than you know
It perplexes me
Untamed angels
Carry you
Rousing me
Peaceful beings
You restore me.
The blackest hole
of poetic intent
Light spinning inward
no chance of escape
Eluding the eyes
collapsing the meaning
Time in dilation
direction opposed
Energy waning
one word is emitted
Superpositioned
—the last dying star
(Dreamsleep: July, 2023)
The wiring harness
connecting life
crossed
but grounded sure
Eluding sight
and force of will
its power
most secure
And only seen
when time shorts out
in flashes
not to last
Of red and black
and green contacts
that charge
— the future past
(The New Room: January, 2025)
Small Hands Are Elegant
Small hands seem so elegant
Regardless of where they went
Go around in circles protruding
And answers to questions eluding
Was auctioneer where money is spent.
That is what Trump reminds me of
sometimes.

Through and after
A nuclear blast
We'll still be around
Eating crap
Fear of light
Perserves out fate
Were hidden between cracks
In the darkest of place
Persnickety eaters
Surely not
We'll eat our own dead
Just merely for a snack
We will still be around
Long after you're gone
Eluding light
And eating crap
Form:
Notice the shadows eluding demise
Opportunities
Time for dusk to
Hurry on
Into the
Night of
Ghosts of dawn and
Omens of sun rays
For the
Dancing dust shall settle
And so weary
We will
Not
Cast opaque shadows
As to
Near the constant light
Shocking
Thing
Apparently
Yesterday's dawn is dead
Around and around
buzzing
churrng in the sky
Darting here, there
eluding hands, eyes
fluttering
going everywhere
Hovering as a cloud
invited nowhere
Just an insect
killing time
looking for an arm
Meals for babes
nourishment wine
Options plenty
Pooping time
Quickly I see
running near me
splat, curse that swatter that killed me
~Tranquility~
Cozy and hot outside!
Two symbols of these worlds collide
Eluding eclipse effect and becomes worldwide,
Sinking every lover's heart from the inside
Unhappy endings, one massive clutch-less ride
Emotions fly, like a veggie glide.
Under this new moon and sun's high tide.
God, must have a new evil plan set aside!
:)
To watch her with another
The hurt, the pain, the thrust
Beauty eluding my fondle
Gorgeousness I can only behold but always let go
I want this but can't own it
I deserve it but selfish it sounds
What will you do to have a joy illegal?
To defile the voice of norm
For the warmth, for the knowledge
To carefreely live against order
There was a day when my brain turned against me
thirsting for daily dose of medication.
My thoughts grew dim and every day more cloudy
as if in fear of some intimidation.
I fought against growing sense of agony
words eluding my desired ambition.
But the day came when the lights came back on
Words spewing forth in an unending ribbon.
A Fugitive
Fugitive
wandering, nomadic
escaping, eluding, absconding
frightened alone seeking sanctuary
Refugee
Written by Jill for Julia Ward’s
Fugitive contest, any form
I could see it off in the distance
it beckoned to me, an oasis for the parched
offering honey and the sweetest wine
a promise to fill for a lifetime
the closer I get the further off it seems
a haze that dissipates in the midst
never quite able to grasp, to taste
to finally drink until I'm quenched
the vagueness, the mental imagery
disappears, eluding me
Light
There's a glimmering light
tiny swirls, shades of gray
booming thunder, rain clouds abound
it's just a sloppy mess today!
Cabbage green skies
eluding to the mist
orange laden sunsets
reminds me of a Sunkist
Birds circling, flocking
with nowhere to go
roaming the earth
for that shiny glow
clouds are beautiful
a figment of ones imagination
Wet lines drawn on her cheeks
Trapped in the loneliness of sorrow
Eluding the mocking faces
She walked in the alley alone
A woman so much misspelled
her beauty was the villain-
of yesteryears , now just a scar
of perversion and abuse.
The unruly hair , the stony face
She could not be more pathetic
But who got to care these,
In this vast globe shrinking fast.
the wolf inside him speaks
telling him of his life so bleak
the wolf needs to come alive
to stay alive
or else end before his time
by one man-father time
awakened by the earth's growls
on all fours he sprowls
scavenging through wooded acres he roams
looking for something to comb
devoured by day's eluding sun
knowing deep within his heart
his choice of leaving civilization was smart
A miraculously flat prison
A site of utter allocution
Bearing witness to decision
Beholding not of retribution
Conversations with it an act of utter futility
Covering does not instill a sense of humility
Dimensionally free
Damning still is thee
Efficacy is still eluding
Escapism found brooding
Finally, a simple pathway to contrition
Fracture this mirror, my final decision
Mysterious woman ran in the middle of the night
Yelling with panic the name of her dearly loved
Shaking with goose bumps at the bad feeling
Terrible event robbed his physical presence
Eluding a true that affected a third person
Rifle sound broke the peace of a small town
Yearning a forbidden love that ended in tragedy

Watching a hurricane
won’t get you wet
And reading more Freud
won’t help you forget
Mouthing the words
cannot guarantee sound
Laden with fear
hiding guilt by the pound
Stated intent
broken pathways to roam
Paring good wishes
right down to the bone
New skin in the game
and wounds that won’t heal
Eluding the cries
— and truth unrevealed
(Dreamsleep: January, 2026)
A Shadorma
Just over there
on the edge of time
faeries dance
upon light,
cosmic waves;
what mortal eyes cannot see
soul’s reveals.
Between the
panes of time and space
etheric
lights flicker
elemental hide and seeks,
a challenging game!
I spot them
but, I’ll never catch;
faeries are
swift enough
eluding any mortal
grasp that comes their way.
