I once had a dancing goose
Who was fancy free and footloose
He liked creative dance
Skip, hop, twirl and prance
And proudly shaked his caboose...

bridled or footloose
priests, politicians, a shrew
keep a safe distance

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...

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

A
sexy
blonde bombshell
fresh and footloose
notoriously 
enticing, ensnaring
dragged me by my nose-ring
bewailing, bemoaning made me
walk down the aisle towards the altar
intentionally intimidating.

Isabel, you’re always near
Footloose on bare grass, winking--
That giggle lays by the pillow
As nights  linger with scent of milk ;

Dear child ...gone, tucked by stars
Yet Isabel   you’re always near!

LEAVING THE PASSENGERS BEHIND

chartreuse
                  caboose 
footloose 
                  vamoose

The overworked     chartreuse caboose     spun,
ran off the track    footloose     vamoose     done.

Is my breath
upon your list

Is my thought
thoughts I’ve made for you

Is the desire
eternal flame burning in me

Is the touch
forlorn hope, lament for the beauty

Is the lull
footloose and fancy – free lies in the garden

Is the wholeness
ultimate high, lay it up in lavender....

on the loose n forced to choose,
which side of torment to bemuse,
the gander might get his goose,
but solo i am flying?
no not afraid of dying,
just  footloose,
i aint denying,
two thoughts together vieing,
obtuse...

Errol Flynn a swashbuckler
he was also a wrangler

Jack Webb loved LA
gave us Joe Friday

Kevin Bacon brought us footloose
many years after Mother Goose

Humphrey Bogart had many roles
his acting on screen without holes

John Wayne cowboy and soldier
neither one was more bolder...

FRICATIVE FIASCO

Fun filled fatal foul-ups
Finally feeling fairly faint
Fear fully fanning flames
Fatefully finding fault
Further furious faces
Faces fuming in fiery fits
Fire follows, finishing fast 
Flirty, fine fabulous fellows
Featuring fuller fit figures
Feeding flights of fancy
Five footloose funded fools 
Fighting for future fame...

Lured across the world were we,
to setting sun, ancient sea,
lured to pastures greener?

Wanderlust gripped the core of me,
to setting sun, and ancient sea.
Naiveté fueled, footloose; free,
lured to pastures greener?

Herded, prodded, poked, 
primed-pumped,
gripped by fool's gold's glittering sump;
always searching never free;
to take a moments time for me....

Freedom is like a flame of fire
Giving light at night
And warming cold moments
It’s a fire that burns obstructions on the way
It gives one wings to float with the wind

Unbounded freedom
Is sweetness to a decaying tooth
To the liberated and footloose
It’s not only an end 
Beckoning with a smile to jive
But a beginning,
And it’s not every beginning
Which is just bread and butter...

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 another universe,
Searching for a foothold,
Safe for socks.,
A sole survivor
Of an alien abduction
To spin yarns for eternity....

Lured across the world are we,
to setting sun, ancient sea,
privileged ones so carefree
lured to pastures greener?

Wander led the core of me,
to foreign suns Pharisees.
Naiveté fueled, footloose, free,
lured to pastures greener?

Herded child of Galilee
primed-pumped, then set free
fool's gold seeking protégée
lured to pastures greener?

Stop searching, surely, you see
beauty is all around thee....

Love is always depicted by the heart
But I discovered a secret
That is not where it starts
Rather it is when two minds meet

Have’nt you seen marriages a living hell
Understanding one another was like climbing up a well

So don’t go footloose and chase someone like a goose
In the first meeting itself you will know
Whether to cross the bridge or let the bond go

Allow the mind to rule, the mind to rule….....

Fantastically fickle
Rarely enduring -- ever ephemeral,
Adamantly flexible and footloose
Gregarious, vivacious and effervescent
Irresistible, insuppressible and indestructible, 
Love is all that and more…
Ever needed, ever elusive;

Homing in on fragile hearts, love
Erupts into a rousing passion and
Amplifies raw emotions
Rallying those faint at heart
To overcome an insurmountable
Sisyphean task.

It was pouring cats and dogs
Fully drenched I returning from the piano class
Suddenly saw I, gathered a group of tiny tots
Busy making and floating paper boats

Sat down with them
And danced, sang, sailed the blue boats
In ecstasy I realised that had
Happily embraced my inner child

When emotions ran footloose and wild
Down with a sore throat, influenza, pneumonia
Yet awaiting another shower
To join the kids in their mollycoddled gaiety and gala....

To Dance
Dancing as if I were high up off of the ground.
Free flowing air spinning me around.
Having these feelings that I just can't seem to hide.
Feeling my body spiral and glide.
Movement from within coming straight from my heart.
Tempting and teasing with all my body parts.
Just closing my eyes with a smile on my face.
Lightly spinning myself all over this place.
Imagining all...as serene as could be.
On the tip of my toes.
Footloose and fancy free....

Somewhere yonder
When the fiery sun 
sets for the day,
And the night, 
lurking in the 
wings of darkness,
Sneaks upon the weary world
with its murky glee,

I go out with a crystal jar
and collect glowworms.

With stars for my eyes
and winds for my wings,
I surf upon 
the waves of the seas
to rope in the footloose Moon
and bring her home 
to set me ablaze
with her warm silvery glow!

I have the attention span of a gnat
At times not even as long as that

So I found some online training game
That is supposed to help train my brain

Not sure it worked before l lost focus 
My muse came with hazel hocus-pocus 

You’d think she’d gift me great poetry
But instead I write about silly little me

Maybe I will have a cup of peach tea
Start anew footloose and fancy free

The hour is so late that it is early so
Guess I’ll have breakfast before I go

I had a dream so this is a silly poem.

Bacon

right in front of me
Bacon
with biscuits and gravy

intriguing, this
dream
at a restaurant

leaning
into this close encounter
with “Footloose”

a tasty dream
i’d
awaken a bit hot

not my idol
just a silly
idle dream

relatives
have had close encounters
recently

so apparently
the Bacon’s
been on my mind

he looked
rather tasty
not at all old

really
this is not like me
to crave Bacon
