Howard Kerr Poet Blitz

Wild And Free

Psyches on the edge
Psyches going wild
Wild child oh so daring 
Wild one hellish bold 
Bold and downright brazen
Bold though fiercely blind
Blind to subtle logic 
Blind eyed scourge 
Scourge imposed on others  
Scourge the plague of self
Self damned sinking vessel  
Self whose clearly lost
Lost on deep meaning 
Lost boon fellow now 
Now I must reflect  
Now transform or heal 
Heal some wretched  burden 
Heal this stricken heart
Heart that beats with pathos  
heart when wondrous glad 
Glad a buoyant vision
Glad I promptly changed 
Changed barren outlook 
Changed complex-ridden life 
Life as joyful premise 
Life based on love
Love weaves magic dreams 
Love induces spells  
Spells I adopt 
Spells alter mindset 
Mindset yours or mine 
Mindset chasing peerless time  
Time a spur for dormant brain  
Time awash with thinking 
Thinking valued options 
Thinking of growth 
Growth of mental wellness
Growth our golden gift
Gift to cosset and explore 
Gift as relish 
Relish inner calm
Relish broad spectrum issues 
Issues within reach 
Issues sleight and grand  
Grand scheme on horizon 
Grand environment free 
Free in every single sense 
Free from vapid earthly care 
Care…
Sense…

Hilda Greenhough February 11, 2024 at 1:03 AM This poem looks like it took a lot of work conjugating the words. I would be lost by the fourth line. My hat is off to you.
