Only brief free-rein
     rests the bird on a lone branch
        soon poetry flies...

liberty in waves
cantering along the shore
free-rein no rider

electric storm of wild thoughts —
we control the reins

Imagination
Poets
Spontaneous magic
No limit, uninhibited
Einstein’s highest form of intelligence
Give her free rein, and let her soar
She will take you places
Your muse driven
Imagination...

We are Gorlizasaurs and have free rein,
To tear you apart so you’ll feel more pain
Than scorching in lava or acid rain.
And when we’re done, the few souls that remain 
Will then face the fiend that’s holding our chain.

wisdom and wishes
openness of mind
respectful and resolute
daring  yet kind
strong and determined

obstinate and bold
friends of our youth
  ~ our friends when we're old

love everlasting forever and a day
Instinct keen and cunning
   ~ a talent they say
freedom free rein
   ~ some far fetched ideas
enduring and enjoying
   ~ God's gift of the years...

ABSTRACTED

 an elegant
obsession
 transformed
 from the absence
 of light
beyond black
a
created complex
of smoothness
in
 surfaces
absorbed
by
reflected light
so
 hard to exploit

  a
 fascination
with luminosity's
potential
 to create
to juxtapose
&
 overwhelm
in swathes
of
the
normal

such
a
duality
of
the
delicate shadowed
then
 merge
to
 a free rein
in
 interpretation
of
notions...

Detect Bit of Ambivalence

Threw me for a curve
And loop and must be normal
To belong in group.

Is something missing
Or me who is resisting
Rules are insisting.

When I run rampant
And completely have free rein
Will I drive you insane?

Live in land of free
And will and receive my fill
Let's leave it at that?

Problems with my poetry group and me
resulting in my dropping out and staying
with Poetry Soup.

Pencil jumped out of my right hand and gave my left fingers a tiny tap
Three new ideas came to me in a quick snap; I needed pencil back.
Pencil refused to take direction, gave my cheek a tiny slap.
It was my fault for personalizing him and naming him Mack.
Mack wrote for an hour and ten minutes, never taking a break.
I noted it was all about himself, and most of it was fake.
Serves me right for giving him free rein.
Having an arrogant pencil is a bit of a pain....

Literally independence sovereignty

Independent autonomy license in free rein

Being just let be

Everywhere surroundings freed

Reaching for the separate devises

The State of being free within a society



Reign freedom, rings

Everywhere there's air

Indenpenant and by one's self

Gone on into unlatched mode

Never to be confined again

An anniversary smile;
triggers teardrops that beguile.
A joyous celebration
of true love's affirmation.

As friends celebrate with you,
congratulations come due.
And they top your special day,
with cheers of hip-hip-hurray.

Time for fun festivities;
and adult activities.
Love is toasted with champagne;
and feelings given free rein.

Upon this date, every year,
the strength of your love is clear.
And thus, this marker in time,
feels fantastic and sublime....

When (Clive Staples) C. S. Lewis
met Joy Gresham, a Jewess, 
he had questioned his faith in God.
She gently proved his doubt was flawed. 

Later in his book, …Grief Observed
Lewis writes of what Joy preserved.
Changed by what he had learned of pain,
from his wife who gave him free rein.


for Dr. Ram's contest  " Husbands are in
heaven whose wives scold not"
a quatrain with an air of clerihew


I recommend a study of their  brief marriage -
C.S. Lewis and Joy Davidman Gresham....
