Best Fancy Free Poems


Footloose and Fancy-Free
It's so good to be fancy-free,
To just be me.
I sit beneath this big oak tree
Drinking wine, writing poetry.

No one to tell me, "Hurry up!"
I drink my wine in a coffee cup.
No one to tell me, "Shut up!"
I say what I please, I stand up.

It's good...

Fancy Free
Down here you will see
The remains of Fergus McKenzie
Who wanted to live fancy free
Mrs. McKenzie didn't agree

My fancy isn’t costly
though sometimes it can be.
I fancy this; fancy that,
or at the drop of a hat,
I’ll fancy things TOO fancy.

Since I’ve not got lots of money,
if too costly is my fancy,
I’ll just make do, because it seems
some things I want remain as dreams
while...

Fancy Free
Forever I had dreamed of my “Happily Ever After” scene.
As a child, I became Snow White or Cinderella in my dreams.
Never had I imagined living all alone and fancy free!
Childhood fantasies included lots of children and tire swings.
Yesterdays dreams were replaced; my future was yet...

Fancy-Free For Me
On the theme of fancy-free
     I’ve no rules attached to me
Can write of nonsense if I choose
     Or use a hippo as my muse

Can write all day or not at all
     Or script...

quick-step and ladies excuse-me;
fox trot and last waltz slow,
holding close,as passions grow....

What does it mean, the saying, 'fancy-free'?
   Perhaps, like Nature's pure tranquility...
unhindered choice to carry on, agree
   in simple ways that rule Earth's land and sea?

Blue skies and clouds that drift by so carefree
   while winding streams meander endlessly;
or...

FANCY-FREE INNOCENCE

     fancy-free with poetic slippers,
zoetic zephyr on tippy-toes.
               a ballerina schemes in untouched colors.

        words pop, revive,

George asked for a date,
supposing I’d wait
all day.
That morning at eight
I stood by my gate;
oy vey!
He called and said, “Mate.
I’ll be really late.
OK?”

His mate? I said, “Hey,
your style’s not the way
for me.
I’ll go to the bay
and find my friend Ray.
Then we
on jet skis will play.”
(Ray’s...

Fancy Free Soul
Glitzy and starry gets all the attention
Even the worth is no more a chaff
Everyone needs that loud attraction
Yet I sit here simply folding my arms
Holding myself from all pretension
Not to please one for false adulation
And I stand alone in this mad race
For I am a...

I can’t get close to people,
I’m fancy-free.
I hide in the shadow of the steeple,
for eternity.
I see the world from my peep hole,
as my own VIP.
My brain is as sharp as a needle,
Yet my soul has abandoned me....

Some Little Flowers On Fancy Free
Like the sky-flowers in dense cloud
Raised by romantic sun in glee
Far away from the anchored crowd
The spirit seeks to be fancy free

Neither commitment nor confinement
Blue freedom in getting footloose
Ecstasy of sun-sprinkled moment
In cool pond the blue breasted goose

In the chromosomal red molecules
Instincts seeking to cut...

words hover through the air like music
the good the bad and the ugly
selected meticulously 
to strike a chord
a mood
send a message
deep from the heart
meant to drive home a point
reach out to express to share a longing 
in a whim committed thoughts
to paper lined in images
shared...

Fancy Free
Fancy free be
Freedom fancies thee
Your destiny to see
All that is free

Walk across the water
You can do it
Don’t stand on the fishes head
He wants to be free too, not dead

Walk on hot coal
Boil sin from your soul
Be free like me
I stand tall, solid as a rock...
