A Samurai could not afford
A genuine Japanese sword
He evaded libel
By quoting a Bible:
"Vengeance is mine saith the Lord"...

Listen to poem:

The bridge is covered, has no light
all who pass over are shaded 
eclipsed by day, in dead of night
unseemly notice evaded
by keeping all's well, out of sight....

I'm in the mood for love, simply because you're naked
Funny but all other thoughts, my brain has evaded
Hurricanes, tornadoes
Rotten potatoes or tomatoes,
Just focused on where to put my wee snapper, top rated...

duped to go
metric excepting
this but forgetting

what once was
sacred has evaded
even jaded thinking

that you think this is
but it isn't geometry
so please pass me

that three
no it's not
in eights

going metric
you made
a mistake...

Spin right
Mighty motors churning through the night

From the millennia
Powered wheels so long evaded capture

Vagabonds adrift
Lost at sea without her spun delight

Wheels breezing by repeating
Save us from our old familiar plight...

Intrepid gadfly;
the voice of dissent.
Multiple times stricken,
multiple times resolved.
Though he bleeds,
still the pen that chides never bleeds,
nor is it obliterated.
For three decades and four,
death he evaded,
still, multiple times stricken,
evasive he remains....

(each stanza is a Senryu poem)

We, the resistance,
are here, stationed on our couches
armed with our remotes.

Camouflaged in our
faded PowerPuff pajamas
and fuzzy slippers

We are determined.
Yes, we have evaded contact
and forsaken love.

We few, lay down such 
as freedom for honest care
for our fellow man....

Recalling 2011
Written: by Miracle Man

A violent wind, thunderous, and loudly,
moves some stationary things it touches.
If in the “fraidy hole” hunkering proudly,
you've evaded mother natures clutches


“It’s an all-too-human frailty to suppose
that a favorable wind will blow forever.”

E-arly morning birthday breaks, 
V-iew in the sky is pleasant; 
A-iming to bring fine weather to the life of the celebrant.

B-irthday at early morning
U-ses the warmth of dawn; 
T-wenty-seventh of December
I-s a welcome new horizon.
A-fter the night is gone, the dark shadows fade away; 
L-onely evening has evaded the early morning birthday....

There is a reported

Convergence of

Science and spirit

Seen as evidence

Of a coming

Realization of what

For the millennia 

Has evaded so much

Searching..a goal

On the horizon with

A promise finally 

Of felt success..

Such may seem a story 

Of futility writ large 

Not separated from a

Beautiful story of

Infinite expression.....

I am staring at the screen; 
blank screen, blank brain, 
void of imagination and imagery. 

Evaded once again by creativity, 
I stare into the void of inactivity. 
I conjure up a line, glimpse an idea, 

then it is gone, and I can see no more. 
Blank blank blank, 
a blanket of literary fog has descended. 

Composition ended. 
blank screen, blank brain, 
void of imagination and imagery....

Misery never evaded me, it's like my shadow relentless in following me, where can I  
go to escape this insidious silouette - a shadow which taunts me. How could I 
escape faith that is destined to be, an outcast with wretched existense, an existence 
which tolerates me. To escape, to expire, I chose not to be, still alive because death 
refused me. How do I live nor can I die, to roam the earth until death remembers me....

M-isty Wednesday is gone, 
A-s the dawn starts to break; 
R-aindrop from the sky
I-s having no chance to take.
T-wenty-second December
E-liminates the dark night; 
S-hadows have disappeared and turn into a bright light.


C-old chill of the wind
H-as evaded the Thursday; 
A-llowing the sun to shine, 
V-ile weather fades away.
E-arly morn has broken, as the twilight is gone; 
Z-enith awaits the noon, after you stop the yawn....

He has come again
and I am powerless to keep him away
Yeah I desire to hear his voice
yes I know he only speaks lies
Even though they smell like death, I listen
I and he become as one, cursing the groumd
The same ground that supports my step
the same ground where I slept
That dreaded quagmire that shall bring me down
which holds my foot from solid ground
I listen and the why 
has forever evaded me
So I tell thee now
fear the quagmire meant only to pull you down...

It takes years to create,
Even one considered to be tame.
Still to this date,
There are no two that are the same.
Like a picture show,
That is incomplete.
Destiny in tow,
The journey of life will one day meet.
Throughout this single event,
We will have experiences of both good and bad.
We learn to circumvent,
Then cherish the good times had.
At no time is it ever jaded,
Nor is it fake.
It is never to be evaded,
This is a journey we all must take....

I’d like to turn you in
Point you out
Trick you
You, who evaded me
In my nightly dreams
Like sweat stuck against my skin
Clinging to my skull
Grabbing ferociously
And would not let me go

You are a beauty, my nemesis
And my downfall
Let them catch you
Weigh and indict in the name of injustice

And if they take you
I will still love you
Enamored, infatuated
Blinded by your apparition
Never forget you
Nor your vision
Though you deserve
All the agony...

Amidst the shadowed depths, I tread with care,
Within a realm where darkness does abide.
My outstretched hand, a shield to guide,
Yet failed to clasp, my fingers hide.

A slender door, unseen, evaded my every sense,
Unleashing blows upon my head.
My familiar metaphors, disturbed, unread 
To drift apart, no longer as they were before.

Thus, people and things estranged, they stray,
No longer matched as days of yore.
In altered union, they wander wide,
No longer bound as once before....
