Be free in our minds

It has been said by, I do believe Robert Frost, that free verse poetry is like playing tennis without a net. Not sure, but whoever said it, I like it.

So here I go playing without a net.


Don't let this world take you down.

We are only here for a short time.

Why are we bickering about this and that?

What does it matter?

Just take off that hat, and your mask as well.

I see you hiding over there.

Are we all simply cowards,

hiding behind our devices?

I'm guilty as well.

Living.... but not living.

Feeling..... but not feeling.

What an illusion that has been created.

Are my strings being pulled?

Are we all just puppets in the grand show?

If we are, well let's cut the strings.

Don't let the strings tangle you up.

We can all be aware, and open our eyes.

We can also live and love,

and be free in our minds.

Wonderful!

I sometimes write poetry (or what I call poetry probably is not poetry at all, although I don't think it is word salad either...) But free form?

Anyway that was encouraging and lovely!

Yes lovely indeed. Very refreshing nat, Love reading your work and all the others on here
