Best Reins Poems
Confusion Rains (Or Is It Reigns Or Reins?)
I suppose struggling bards (such as I) are wont to muse
Upon profound or inane topics to propound our views.
So, it occured to me how baffling the English language could be,
To new arrivals to our shores from international potpourri.
Will he ever master the usage of to, two, tutu and too?
Should he order "coal" or "cole" slaw...

Reins of Fate
When the reins of fate go slack
And the wicked wind is at your back
And you lift your head and smell the dew
And there's no one near to trouble you
When your eyes are wide
And you're ready to ride
Like a pony in the spring
Like a falcon on the wing
To follow your heart
To make that new start
When you've...

Just seize the reins,
Impose your agenda,
Tighten your grip on the masses,
Control....

For plains
you the reins are but the

your iron shoes lead, and your
fiery spirit roams over fields

Hunger Reins
Hunger holds the reins, stimulating or stifling,
driving the plant to bend to the sun and root deep,
herding the roe deer toward unsafe pasturing;
hunger holds the reins.
An emptiness of desire unfed, ends fitful sleep
as moon-tossed men pull threads of sanity, hiding,
from deep within a memory of fullness creeps;
hunger holds the reins.
Mouths and stomachs,...

Grabbing the Reins
We all have certain moments
That define the paths we’ll take
To spur us into action,
Even just for ego’s sake.
The realization that this life,
The only one we’ll know,
Has other options will decide
Which way we choose to go.
We don’t have many years to live
And we must make the choice
That resonates within our soul,
In no one else’s voice.
A sacrifice...

Loose Reins
Will the stars ever align the way they did that day?
When all the heavens opened up to let you come my way.
Where magic spells are cast into the hearts of only two.
And shine a light of golden hue beyond all others view.
A world of lost and lonely space is all that there is left.
To wonder...

Lynching Live: Normality Reins
Lynching Live; So What? Trumped-Up Normality Reins
Knee lynching streamed live,
Shadowed death’s source is revealed;
Justice remains blind!
Cameras roll, showing death’s shadowed
source.
Cameras don’t lie; streaming the truth of
live murder.
Oppressive actions of intentional racialism
unveiled;
Yet, lynched justice remains dangling on the
tree of life.
In oppression, when freedom fires flare-up,
Executive ordered murderers begin shooting;
Revealing despotic authority racialism controls.
With the support...

April Reins
The seasons changed from frigid to thaw.
Deep in my heart my Jesus saw.
A need to find someone to love.
So he plucked an angel from above.
A day or two before rebirth.
He brought her down to me on earth.
We both looked lost in such a daze.
Still trying to understand God's ways.
The season's changed from cool to cold.
Things...

His Father On High Reins
His Father on High Reins
God said I am that I am and always am
Like loud roaring lion or a little lamb
Enduring elephant who is big and tall
And an ant so small and great waterfall.
Rainbows, stars and mountains real high
Bright fireworks flying on Fourth of July
Writers of poems with their each pen
Lovely eggs at Easter laid...

The Reins of Reluctance
The Reins of Reluctance
Stashed somewhere in the shadows
Of true love and pure romance
He hides his heart and hungers
For the strength to take a chance
He hopes hard for a reason
Tries to find the circumstance
So he can finally tell her
How she has him in a trance
But fear of her rejection
Always hinders his advance
So she only sees him...

Slippery Reins
Once when I was a child
My reins were held by my parents
This pony once led by their rants
Now that my mustang is old
My reins still slip from my grasp
I go where this beast goes
Divorced from my old mare
I am no longer noosed
Years of service make it wary
When my child returns at half-time
He takes my...

Handing Over the Reins
Handing over the reins is, of course,
Very rarely involving a horse.
It’s about the tradition
Of easing transition
Of power, with no show of force.
The expression is mostly applied
When a leader is stepping aside
And helps he who comes next
Not feel lacking or vexed
With all negative feelings denied.
Yet today, those same reins are held tight,
While the whole world is...

Drop the Reins and Pour Me a Drink
The dog days of summer, certainly here
Every half-hour, another shot of beer
Too lazy to move
I’m stuck in a groove
Glad my new car doesn’t need me to steer
