Loosen Up Poems | Examples

Kicked Through

Knock knock I kept knocking at addictions door
Each knock feeling as if only they were knocked

Days turned to weeks with little to no progress
I kept knocking at the door so well locked

Failure after failure I became its expert
I’ll try my elbows at this door so blocked

Do I ask for help or do I seek wisdom in thyself?
I throw my whole body at the door only to get mocked 

One day I tell myself this door will loosen up
I try to knock softer in this never-ending deadlock

6 months go by I begin to stop myself before blackout
Still the door remains but it doesn’t seem so landlocked

Another three months I dwell in shame
Turning to prayer I fear God sees me as King of Gawk

Faith is all I have left to throw at the door 
Then one day I no longer feel mocked

Finally a year later later I regain my goal of goals
Persistence and faith finally made this door unlocked

Always Take Time To Play

I just must share, I do declare 
What it means to be me. 
Life’s too short to take too seriously. 
So please, listen up, loosen up, party a little. 
Do something spontaneously, daily, silly. 
It keeps the soul refreshed. 
Pinch the behind just to make sure, nope, not dreaming. 
Stretch big stretches. Extending arms up high... 
Reach up... touch the sky, spin and fly. Breathe in deeply. 
Just enjoying the view of being alive while I inhale 
The awe-inspiring newness of being 
Born again with these childhood eyes. 
Once, long ago I realized, 
It’s just no fun being dead inside.

RMIT Remedial Performance

2025.04.08
Recently, I was fortunate enough to receive
Special treatments, at the RMIT building 51, 
Where not only I have had so much fun.
But also having the bodily remedial therapy done. 
I chatted and laughed with these young students.
What they did was part of their courses' curriculum.
They came up with a win-win situation,
Which they would provide massages at minimum cost,
To those who were willing to offer.
To be a live model, so the students could practice,
What they learned from their theories,
What they studied in their classes,
Into a real life performance.
I also being fortunate to have had
These two young and blubby personalities, Mary-Anne K and Indah D.
Giving me the massages,
To relieve all my aches, and loosen up my joints and muscles.
As many other students, they have heart of gold,
Helping people who have acute or chronic muscle pain.

They both installed beautiful long eyelashes,
Surround their eyes on the upper lids.
I found these amazing curve eyelashes,
Not only enhance their beauty,
But also to fan me if needed.

I stand accused of being a mouse

i hide behind my shell
and don't say boo
until i loosen up and can be me
a simple glass of cabernet
helps chisel off the edges
rounds those prickly corners
they that keep me guarded

Thirty m p 's and rising'

Its thirty mp's and rising justin.' Theres foam uoon them
Waves.' Theres cracks deep in the planking justin I guess its
Time to pray.? But you arn't one for prayer; i reckon.?
Just what iv'e heard say.' I also hear of waverers justin? 
Another twenty seats." A backlash now of fifty justin; whoh! It
Would knock you off your feet.' It could loosen up your
Bowels now justin..And that would really stink.' Although
Theres such stench, in the big house justin
Maybe they just won't blink? There are human sharks right
Left and centre..Their lifstyles under threat, they have also
Become hated justin.' True Canadians don't forget.' Also
They're true law see' justin..All rests in the ridings. All power
And strength.'reside.! Yet you waved it all good-bye
From davos justin..When you had clausie on your side.!

So spake simple Simon

To heighten awareness, begin and then pause,
choosing to loosen up and lighten the heart,
musing mindfully to determine the cause,
that in the first place led strange stirrings to start.
Poised in the void, no longer by thoughts decoyed,
we retrieve light of soul, pure and unalloyed,
recognising that this life is but a dream,
manifested by desires we chose to stream.

Fearful of Godmonkey

Godmonkey’s new driver was too speechless to talk
Especially when Godmonkey said he would get out and walk
Gilbert was startled by Godmonkey’s unusual request.
You have to loosen up Godmonkey said, don’t be like the rest.

Gilbert had heard rumors about monkeys being drowned.
Next to witches, goblins, alligators, and a princess that was crowned.
He was terrified of his new boss, but he let him out right away.
You have to get some rest, Godmonkey said. See you Tuesday.

We Know We Know Not

We can’t see God, so use braille,
scent of bliss marking our trail,
feeling love, gently by touch,
having rested thought flow crutch.

By following bliss beats beep,
soma nectar seeps in deep
and thus heeding God’s love chime,
assured is soul’s upward climb.

Recognising we know not,
we loosen up heart strings taut,
imbibing wisdom by grace,
beholding God, face to face.

Where I Would Like the Wind To Take Me

I want the wind
to sweep me away
to a sanctuary in the sun

A place where I can
swim with the dolphins
and loosen up on a hammock
endlessly savouring Pina Coladas
in a garden of
balmy coconut palms
where the ocean breeze
and saltwater
are parading through
my hair strands

Nature's Kaleidoscope

World's kaleidoscope turns gray-green.
The elders request: summon please, 
it's August, coerce Earth's palette
to wake absent artist, Autumn.

Kaleidoscope's gray cylinder	
wants reddish, orange and yellow trees.

Loosen-up leaves that tightly cleave
still hanging on to summer heat.
Hasten Mother Nature's routine
and free the colors deep within.

Unclenched Fist

Loosen up a bit,
that head and heart fit
in cauldron of love,
working hand in glove.

Immersed in worship, 
with love our flagship,
once our fist’s unclenched,
heart becomes bliss drenched.

We ascend with ease, 
on choosing release,
from patterns of old
glued in ego’s mould.

For God to appear,
relinquish each fear
and gently align
under His love sign.

Natural Medicine

Laughter our bodies natural medicine
A wondrous gift we humans possess
Helps alleviate stifled woes
Releases life’s stress

Laughing relaxes your whole being
Life’s worries put temporarily aside
Therapy for heart and soul
That no amount of money can buy

Laughter unites us together
Breaks down our barriers and fears
It’s spontaneous , playful and infectious 
Judgements and differences disappear 

Spirits uplifted with merriment
Throughout laughter time
Leaving all that negativity 
Tension and troubles behind
 
Hearty, explosive, raucous laughter
Purest medicine for the human soul
Laugh long, hard and loud
Free inhibitions , abandon a little self control!

Surround yourself with positive people
Have a truly hearty laugh
Loosen up and let your hair  down ( if you have it!!)
Just enjoy a belly laugh and a half!!!

Resolute Stubborn Miss Gertie

Resolute opinionated Little Miss Gertie is barely thirty
But as set in her ways as a scorched shirt burned dirty.
We used to try to get her to loosen up a tiny bit.
But she has no humor or pliability, and she can be a snit.

So we decided to leave her alone and lo and behold.
She met a male stranger, all blustery, opinionated and bold.
He was almost the same age, a resolute bachelor, quite old.
They became an item and got married, but neither would fold.

The wedding was short-lived, for neither would give an inch.
She was angry that when putting on the garter she got a pinch.
She pouted the entire wedding night and strangled his finch.
Their marriage did not have a chance; which we knew was a cinch.

Just Me

I never hold her eyes long enough
Shyness over comes me
I looked away and she slips away into the crowd
Another missed chance at a great love

Am to polite to do cat call
Rather I find it quite rude and inappropriate
Refusing to degrade her to a whistle, hey, YO MAMMA!
But I do find her to be incredibly alluring
Something my silent never betray

No liquid courage for me
Self courage often fails me
I hold our conversation in my head
Till fantasy overshadowed
Puff  goes the reality of you and me
As time creates a distance that can't be breach

Am too vanilla for the like of online dating
I have no witty pick-up lines
Tinder is filled with hi, hello and mundane conversations
Urges on check
My wildest thought left dormant in the corner of my mind
Just can't seem to let go, relax, loosen up
Rather I patiently wait to be set free

Too afraid to cause offence
I live well within the margins
Nowhere close to the edge
No risk, no fun, Just Me
