Elusive Poem by Linda Coker

Elusive

Rating: 5.0


It bounces in and kicks about
If I focus upon it, it bounces out

It does not stay, but leaves a trail
And I’ll follow for hours to no avail

I strain brain cells to bring it back
But I pull up nothing, my rope’s gone slack

What do I seek? That fleeting thought-
Which reappears when my search has stopped.

(2006)
