Short Freewheeling Poems

Art
is
the mind
unfettered-
in colour and space.

Ekphrasis Paraphrase after Robert Motherwell's words....

Mercury nights unrelieved
betrayal passionately suggests
Our future- parallel in jest
From jumping many potholes
Freewheeling college enterprises
Found my candle beside a manhole
Your tongue is dirty like fame...

 A Bowl of Soup

friendship hails      around the orb    freewheeling in virtual space.

a hullabaloo of hellos,    unique argonauts of rhythm and verse.

shedding skins,    sharing losses and wins,   a bowl of soup....

I was
A little drunk
At the start
A zest for life
With freewheeling legs
Friend
To all and foe
Little by little
That life chipped away
I drew away
To that shelter
Of inner self
One won’t find
On any shelf
I woke
With headache
And hangover
Not even
The hair of the dog
Can cure...

My former life was so simple...
Just an avocado flavored ice cream
to fulfill my life complete...
In simple life I happily roamed the city,
and on these tours, one day everything changed...
Everything has changed since the day I found
an Lp record freewheeling Bob Dylan... !
I was never the same again...!...

I feel the need for speed;
scant traffic, no cops.
Floor now my ready heavy foot.

I’m a teenager again,
whooping and hollering,
no warning lights in my freewheeling way.

Then,
fear rides inside my heart,
its white knuckles upon my mind.

Panting as if I had been running,
I peer at a now danger filled highway,
driving much too slow....

MULTIPLICITY
a
combined
innocence
 something
beautiful
 oft traumatic
yet
 figurative
to
represent
a
freewheeling
spirit
charmingly
gentle
yet
with
an unworldly
quality
collides
to portend

in
 the blatant
 isolation
a thesis
 drifting
a  happening
reaping
benefits
 a
 setting
continued
 throughout
then
evaporated...

bemusement
      mismatched
     in a backward glance
the worst if times
     demystified
          in transition
        s focal point
magnified in spritual images

perceptions of sincerity
     of
        freewheeling precepts
uniquely
       connected
then
    apopriated
in
   glimpses of the beyond
once conflicted
       now
           embraced...

We’ll tell the naysayers to go take a hike -
we're kids at heart and having so much fun!
I’m sitting on the handlebars in the blazing sun
whilst hubby's freewheeling our old pedal bike.
So what if we're pensioners with graying hair
we're both on the cycle, we don't have a care -
we'll tell the naysayers to go take a hike!
