Public schools closing again
  Teachers abandon the halls

Slamming the door on education
  Mayor, just fire them all

Premium Member Zen Mode

he rode a horse
mindful of its free spirit
entwining bodies and souls
to ride within fierce winds
in carefree abandon

faith in foot fall

lose mind in the scuff that is underfoot
trust soot can be outrun
in dreams' cascade, burdens shun -
the art of wild abandon

Escaping Summer Heat

ban the horizon
harbinger of heatwaves
abandon fever

bound towards the sea
embrace your transparent realm
and thalassic depths

With free abandon
dance by the light of the Moon;
Naked if you choose,
just smile and reflect the light;
Every move simply a phase.

A Cold Wind

In fear of your abandon,
afraid of letting go

Alone and feeling stranded,
bereft—no kindness shown

     The ebb of the river
      the flow of the stream

Picture

Picture your world in coulourfull strokes
With Care and Abandon
Of a life worth living
Devoid of Wealth
and immune to Goverment Stealth

Broken Mirrors

You can only 
Break so many mirrors; 
Before you stop adding 
Up the years.
So proceed 
Without abandon;
Quit tiptoeing 
Around fears.

I am just a man

Part of God plan
Repented birth again
Frozen in sin
Yet shall remain

Here I am, just a man

Abandon Ship

Poetry Soup 
Is like a ship
floating along without it's crew.
AI pirates 
are now steering the vessel 
but I'm not enjoying the view.

The night I gave in to
  reckless abandon

Was the night I embraced
