Best Footloose Poems

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...

I'm footloose and fancy free.
My youngest daughter is twenty one.
I've just returned from having fun.
Visiting each and every one.

Isn't it bliss to see them grown?
Fully formed adults on their own.
Confident, carefree, full of plans.
Before they settle with a man.

A job well done, I can relax.
Think...

Rock and roll that's my play
Who wants to stay and sway
Don't care if you're footloose
Any music we'll dance and choose
Smiles; grooving fun that we'll display

She’s just footloose and fancy free
Doesn’t have a husband like me
She’s lazy and fat
Just like her old cat
I’m pleased she can’t sit on my knee!

I’ve not seen her in over a year
Its her loss - no I won’t shed a tear
Thirty years with no work
A...

Old  Dame On A Footloose





She held on to the firm grip of the extended invite

Pent up desires vented out in the market site

Elasticity in the heart of the rumpled weathered skin

Coyly she smiled with hat in the air and stick clanging away

Tantalising onlookers at...

Who does not wish to solve
The enigma of  socks
That go AWOL in the wash?
We count them into the machine
And then we try to count them out.

Yet ,no matter how carefully we try,
How often one disappears,
Lost in a black hole of the stratosphere,
Off floating in...

Footloose as a child I played games
  dancing barefoot in the rain
  shoes were only restrictive pain;
too soon I grew
  baring everything I was taught and knew
  life and friends were a parting few remembered true.
Today I'm older wiser
  given...

FOOTLOOSE    AND    FOOTLESS


Children just  don’t remember  they’ve got feet
And deliberately fall, giggling  -  it’s sweet
Treading the leaves in gutter here:
It don’t hurt to fall on your rear.

Bursting handfuls of big yellow leaves  -
Oh, what...

The precious ladder rested precariously on a pedestal of literature

Sorted by width of their spines the book podium was high and wise

It needed a few steps of non-fiction itself to give rise for learned ascent

John had carefully read the fool’s guide to DIY storage procedure

footloose 
fancy-free 
wish to be 
so carefree 
not in the cards 
for me to my dismay
never was one so free
its not in my DNA i fear
to be such a one...

Just fancy for a moment how free you'd be,
if you could wind back the years, regress and flee
back to when the legacy you now bear
was a fling and flirt, a fancy dance dare.

Just fancy how much a single wrong choice
ruined your life and your chance...

Mind dancing,
missing steps, not much leaping.
Even so, good enough.

Long time backwards
'Brown Sugar' hip jerking stuff,
white bellbottoms flaring like Day lilies.
We were a floor for others to adore,
microcosms in a single frame universe,
eyes whirring, pinned to the air
with a none-stick-glue.

It was not true dancing,
you have to...

GOING BAREFOOT FEELS FINE AT THE TIME
YEAH AND SHOES DO TOO
SOMETIMES I NEED SOMETHING LIGHT
SOMETHING NOT QUITE SO TIGHT
ONLY SANDALS WILL DO

OF THE PACK I HAD MY PICK
WISH I KNEW WHAT MAKES THEM TICK
AND GET A HANDLE ON
THESE MY BRAND NEW SANDALS

THEY DIDN'T...
