Premium Member Sweet getaway

in my head thrives a world of fantasy
under a moon within the next galaxy
where I live amidst trees and rocks and sea

A pickpocket named Dodger
lived to become an old codger,
alas a walking stick and heaps of pain
his getaway speed sadly on the wane.

My Moon Getaway

On a lake, I confide
with the moon of day's routine---
garbage, work, cleaning;
that my heart forgets to strut
lightly on calm grounds.



From Manny Paras

Lifes a Risk

no way you can getaway
its a test 
god will do the rest
no matter what you do
rememeber this too
you must have a strong fist
do do all this
cause 
LIFES A RISK

My Summer Getaway

I need an escape
to the Exuma Cays
so I can navigate the tropical seas
and leave my footprints behind
on the unspoilt sand bars
in the glorious sun !

Romantic Getaway

More friendly, the further
Away we get.
Even the stars, cities yond
Smile the brighter !

Detracts not from what, in
Love is freed up.
Nor for intenseness, what's eyed
Then of lover!

Most important question and this may sound bizarre Who'll wear the mask and who'll drive the getaway car Did I just shout? If the fuzz are about Joking was I, there's a bunch more in my resevoir

Premium Member A Sheepish Getaway

In a market outdoors one day, Pam
was caught pilfering using a pram.
Fast away that lass flew
on the back of a ewe.
One might say she was then "on the lamb!"

Christmas Getaway

The sleigh is empty
The list is ticked
It’s back to base
Double quick

Mrs. Claus is waiting
To greet me
Fidgeting around
Quite excitedly

The bags are packed
And in the sleigh
We’re off to Florida
For a holiday

Premium Member Florida Man 10

Seems Florida men never learn
His getaway? A zero-turn
His Deere, not so fast
His lead didn’t last
Now grass is not his main concern

Escape

This is the time psyche, your gratis getaway into silence; away from folks, away from carriers of culture, the day is spent, the lessons learned, now you fully reflect on themes you love best: nighttime, slumber and dreams.

If you're looking for a UNIQUE getaway, now don't laugh In Nairobi, Kenya, there's a hotel where you can feed giraffes Through your second floor window No, I'm not some kind of weirdo These gentle giants wait to be fed and pose for photographs

Coastal Getaway

Tan skin and smile lines.
Breakfast diners and strong coffee.
Soft breeze and salt-encrusted waves.
Lowered windows and strange songs.
Dripping ice cream and picnic tables.
Inside jokes and evening storms.
Good books and toes in sand.
All these things go hand in hand.

Evil Criminals

Authorities hold their grim faces to the floor,
Making arrangements for their crimes to be no more,
Resting and planning while in their cell,
Deep in their clever minds rings a bell,
And so starts the construction of their getaway,
Dreams of evil crimes to rein yet another day

Taps

Two to start
hidden getaway planned
hooded by woods
secretly intimate
a silent motor
black search began
waiting with accompaniment
tap - tap - tap
drowsy state triumphs
a starred awakening
sirens blaring, lights flashing
escorted and directed away
quick glance back
one hanging above

Premium Member The Getaway

In a market outdoors one day, Pam
was caught pilfering using a pram.
Fast away that lass flew
bareback on a young ewe.
One might say she was then "on the lam(b)."

Great Escape

Going to getaway 
Run as fast as I can
Every step I take will get me to where I want to be
Attempt failed 
They keep finding me
 
Escaped my captives
Speed is the essence
Can’t see where I’m going
Another jump and I will be free
Pursuers chase me
Ended badly I have a new collar that tracks me

Premium Member Everlasting Getaway Maigc 9

There is a happy land far far away
filled with captivating whistles;
Disoriented as high as you stay;
Stratospheric,
glued into a poetic disarray;
Fearless optimism? Enduring combo;
Head to toe in a glow you slay,
it’s like you swallowed a million crystals;
A creative mind is an everlasting getaway.

Spring Break I - Loyal Dog

A day before our getaway to Miami
We got out the blue suitcase
And as it sat in our bedroom
Getting ready for spring break
Our golden retriever
Ever vigilante
Would not leave its side
Day or night
To go outside eat or drink
No
He could not risk being left behind
Thought it was summer
Going to the lake.

Premium Member Lady from Kent

A lubricious lady from Kent
one night to a nightclub she went;
there, she spied a young guy
thought she'd give it a try;
turned out, given that up for Lent!

So she lingered around at the bar;
when soon entered a Jolly Jack Tar.
Hello sailor, she said,
will you take me and wed?
He shot off, in his getaway car!
