Reined Reign
~ A Matter of Control ~

O the many many ways
of control
that which would loose me
but still holds

or would it just lose me
this thing called
restrict
it’s thinnest line
would trip and trick

what, come wordy game
look skyward ~ face the falling
rain ~ lose control
before it looses me
I face each day
most readily

Write in rhyme
no ~ free verse!
structure this
or just rehearse
let it flow
No! tighten the lines!
shall I stay silly?
or be refined?

Oh Control!
give me back my
bloody head
and let me not face
words of dread
no let me rein in
and crown pagan
then soothe my soul
with richer paeans
let me play and reign
supreme
let me be the
rein in queen

No don't reign it in!!!! Brilliant verses. Had to read twice, and may go back for a third reading now.

Whether you write in free verse or perfect meter your words always light up the pages of Passions and warm the hearts of us all. Just let your words flow, dear one, and your talent will take control. ***BIG HUGS***

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.

Karilea, yes, a poem about control. This is so thought provoking.  The worst thing about control in poetry in my mind is writing for any other reason other than what you, yourself feel. To somehow let anyone else write it for you, I'm wandering    Enjoyed this.
