Breaking the Ice

anecdotes and jokes
are a way to loosen up.
they change a person's
visage in moments to joy
or flashing consternation.

Stuck

A sticky hold like glue
Able to loosen up your grip
But, never completely breaking free
Don't want 
Don't need
But cannot let you go
Like a magnet you pull me back to you

Premium Member Still Mourning

There was a time they grew thick and fair.
I thought them friends.  They'd always be there.
What made them loosen up their grip
and say, at once, "Abandon ship"? - 
my long lost, faithless, hair.

Premium Member 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.

What helps chisel off the edges
and round those prickly corners 
that keep me guarded?

The secret is a simple glass of cabernet.

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

BE

Look at me;
And just be;
Come and see;
What is really....
Just as free;
As the autumn breeze;
Be yourself, just be
Loosen up
Throw down those shackles;
Jump up for joy;
For it does matter;
To be, be more;

Launching the Lifebuoy

Loosen up!  laugh off unlucky breaks;
Lifelong lesson: settle mistakes.
Let’s get going; I’m your friend.
Lights shine at tunnel’s end.
Little things loom large
Listen, take charge.
Learn a new
Lease on
Life.

Up

Conservatives not going to 'loosen up'
Feminists say no to 'dressing up'
Millennials (still) refusing to shut up!
Cost of living going up
Police pointing guns- people held up
Peace advocates giving up
Children quickly growing up
Political race to move up
Radicals starting to stand up
History ticking- 
TIME'S
UP.

Mr Average

Hey Mr average 
You got a broken car in the garage
You have a shakey shakey marriage
Mr A A A A average

Do you make love to your wife
in the darkness of the night 
Would you dare turn on the light
Mr average

Why not take a while
find a place have a child
loosen up and be yourself
unwrap breathe and smile

Celebrate Your Birth

I-t's a lovely Thursday, 
R-elax, loosen up, and unwind; 
I-n spite of the night cold rain, 
S-unshine bathes your mind.

A-llow the Wednesday to rest; 
N-ew dawn begins to break; 
D-ecember fifteenth morn
A-ims to mend the heartache.
L-et your life enjoy
A-nd taste the million mirth; 
N-ever think of the stresses, rather celebrate your birth.

Premium Member A Glass of Confidence

I can handle this
but I’ll first need a glass of wine
I need to loosen up
gather my strength
wind down

I can handle this
bit of socializing
all this gasbagging
though little painful
I can handle it

Just another glass of wine
I can handle this
keep the refills coming
I sure hope I can handle
another family reunion

Premium Member 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.

Dearest Menelaus

Dearest Menelaus,
It is really that easy
Like a counting game
For children on the street
Not everything has to be so difficult
You’re two parts external
And one part internal
And I read you about as well as binary numbers
Sitting on page twelve in the bottom right corner
This theorem concerns the body, not the mind
So, loosen up the chains on your brain
This isn’t prison

Hello again

Ground hogs day
in a loop
it's a different day
but I am the same
the words are the same
the people are the same
I say the same thing
day
after 
day
I try to break it
say something new
like smelt
how many people say smelt
I need to loosen up
get out
run around
Wake
Work
Dinner
TV
Sleep
Where's the fun
Maybe tomorrow I will reverse it
Start with tv and dinner

Premium Member Bite Me

Be sure, I'm aware of your critical eye, why should I care?
I don't have to look like you do, because you can't compare.
There is such a thing as individual expression, so don't stare.
Even if it "ruffles your feathers", I don't really care!

Maybe you should loosen up, borrow some of my flair.
Everyone will just have to get used to it, so BITE ME, there!

Premium Member 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.

Premium Member 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. 08-August-2022

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.

Mirroring

Interacting with one's own reflection,
just a glance gives no satisfaction
morphed when forms shadow in light,
don't show itself at night.

Either inferior or superior 
a complex to make one perplex,
for better of some
and a disaster for others.

In style tagged along with a smile
too real to be fragile,
what you see,is what it shows
it's just what you have to trust.

For precision loosen up inner inhibition
only you have the right to make decision.

One Life Is All You Have

So much hurt.
Too much pain.
Unanswered questions
One person to blame.
Why me?
Why me family?
Forcing myself to see what was staring back. 
Life’s too short.
To loosen up the slack.
Gotta hold on tight.
Never let go of that grip.
It’ll fade away
As you watch your heart rip.
Love unconditionally.
Take nothing for granted.
Live life to the fullest.
Think of everyday as your last.
You’ll see how pleasantly.
Instead of how quickly.
Your one life will pass.

Premium Member 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.
