Best Bridles Poems

Patience

Is the wise charioteer that holds the bridles of the impetus
  
For 

To guide us safely over the hurdles of recklessness and haste!

BERSHEBA BATTLE  W.W.1

Horses sensed the coming battle,
Heard sabres rattling to be free.
Fed a nose bag of oats, and the rattle, 
Of bayonets on the rifles, old Brumby
Off they are now, at a good trot. 
Lining up for the Turks to see,
Held in check bridles...

I am the end,
the last act, the final fleck,
the teeny, tiny terminal pixel,
but I am mighty.
I may be small but I have muscle.

I apply the brakes
and the word parade obeys.
I hold up my hand, blow my whistle,
and watch the traffic halt.
I am the language transit...

"The Strict Machine"




Take a note 
pick up your sharpened quill
tap dance your screen
your mind like 
a Magpie's beak 
a Silent Epiphany
One, 
Two and
Three
a Silent Jackhammer 
pneumatic drill 
Blackbirds fly off the page
they're swooping for the kill



A new dawn 
swallows freedom wings 
some writers think 
they’re...

No 8 second ride for these cowboys tonight
As they start in the morning, losing daylight
Their hats are now ties, tethering true
Not breathing in clean air as faces turn blue

Their motive, the green, but not of a pasture
Not men of free will, but now slaves to...

Oh reason,

The bridles of uncontrollable rage, hold

Firmly into your hands


So


The edifice of my character, never to be

Demolished !

She remembered when they first met,
he promised her anything,
and she lay in his arms cradling the golden moon
he had plucked out of the sky and placed at her feet, 
and when she asked for a necklace of stars, he had
picked the finest ones out of...

Judgement’s fine line runs betwixt Prudentia’s
Right and Left hands. In her right, the mirror
Offers serious reflection on life
Lessons learned in crucibles of choice --
Wisdom bridles rash reactive impulse.
But in her left is the serpent coil’d,
Hissing, intimidating, strike ready
With venom of conscience paralysis.
Counting the cost, thinking...

she wore a shiny crown that sparkled from a million miles away
she drove her battle horses and whipped them all like slaves
blue skies all turned black as she came
trumpets blasted tormented tunes...her laughter was insane
eyes of evil hypnotized me as she flew into my presence
she...

Behind the stable doors of green,
the racing horses can be seen,
quite highly trained, they're strong and lean.
They must be seen! They must be seen!

All working there, they form a team;
the saddles and the bridles gleam.
Race prep'rations are a scheme
to win the cream! to win the...

Hello,pretty Annie...
I keep on remembering
your warm hugs and
your sensible,sweet words;
but Mr. Resenick
from child welfare
took you away from your mother...
because of Aida's lies!

Now all you can do is pray,
Brooklyn isn't going to be
the neighborhood you will love...Annie;
what you left back in Queens
is as priceless 
as happiness!

Hello,pretty...

Dad, did you think I had forgotten you,
Well Dad, I wouldn't want you to be blue,
Do you think just because you've been gone so long,
That I don't still feel those arms so strong?

I loved you Dad-you were my idol,
I remember you putting on the horses'...

Firmly the bridles of a fickle heart should be held by loyalty, if we wish love to grow!

Wisdom is a fire, a little enlightens and much burns,
Insight and experience are an added fillip,
Some folks are wise and some are otherwise,
Delinquent in his quick temper dithers,
Ore of gold mixed with precious stones,
Man so erudite is a gem bridles ensuant yen !!...

BLACK LIVES
i
My friend bridles. Huh! All lives matter. Is she is being 
deliberately obtuse? Should I add ‘’too’’ or ‘’do?’’

She adds, I’ve blacks in my family. We had
indigenous girls in nursing school. Never
treated them any differently. U.S.  blacks
are lucky not to be back in...
