Short Unloosed Poems

A subject missing from Mother Goose
Nor found in the works of Dr. Suess
   You wouldn't expect it
   They'd surely reject it
The tale of the head 'Unloosed by a Noose'...

What would I do without my dear friends on the Soup
When I need a pick-me-up, they're there to give me a boost
The love I feel each day
Shows me the loving way
To help me through when life becomes unloosed...

a bed of stones unloosed to spill from its path
through fresh waters flow to the distant sea
laving pebbles from its silty rough wrath
from rivers fresh to brackish brine's debris
the journey ends where it began its ascendancy
drifting as the impetus of tidal destiny...

Squalid thoughts,
Disguised as Dust Bunnies,

Lie dormant,
In a mind's un-swept corners,

Awaiting time and opportunity
To be unloosed from confinement,
By the tongue.

But never,
Will squalid thoughts,
Be ascertained hibernating,
In a beautiful mind.

the un-struck match, does darkness bring,,
the unfair world's a bitter  thing,
the unloosed demon meets his match,
so poor, the former rich do sing...
when logic don't smoke the  hash,
 yes lassie,  per alas,
i'm thinking,
its just a logic swing...

mute ‘triloquist
and talking mime
went on a date
for the first time

he threw her voice
under the bus
you should have watched
the way she cussed

she shut him down
with signs that hurt
when slipped his hand
beneath her shirt

but then he gave
her new white gloves
and pantomimed
undying love

now she’s his doll
he needs no strings
unloosed his tongue
and now he sings...

~   So much exquisite history today,


                    That piques our curiosity to seek ...


          The information midst our DNA,


                              Unloosed with but a swab inside our cheek ...


                    But some are secrets, best left ... to mystique.   ~

He has learned to earn joy from paying sorrow's fee
He has learned to turn and fight and never to flee
He has unloosed the burden of false royalty
Cast off at low-tide to be swept out to sea
His bended back straightens to a minute degree
He walks a bit taller, a better man to be
With nothing to lose now, with no guarantee
A battle-scarred prince bows to one shaky knee
At last feeling worthy to request it of thee
To slip on your slipper, it fits, you will see...
