Like tufts of hair caught on barbed wire, tearing open the wild heart reveals an inside fire; in forward flight at full speed, corraled roan does plaintively plead. Don’t fence me in. I am the free spirit needing room to roam. Wherever I go, I am at home. My roof is forever the stars and blue skies, I cannot thrive in a world of disguise. Don’t put a fence around my soul. Don’t try to lasso my heart. Don’t fence me in. And some day I may follow you willingly. |

Great advice for any person, Kacy! But you, especially, I believe, have the courage to always be a free spirit! Loved this poem!  ...jo |

pictures of wild horses running through my head. a fair warning in your verse. any free spirit can appreciate this.  through the ravages of sleeplessness lies the comfort of the night |

A not too subtle warning, nicely and expressively made Thought is was great I can remember the original tune only thing is the name, but I think he sang Rawhide and Blazing Saddles amongst all the others Dave |

 hey there, long time no see Midnight! thanks for visiting, yes, I was out with my daughter working with some horses yesterday, this phrase grabbed my memory attention, and out came this writeDave, sometimes subtle isn't heard LOL, that's a cowboy tune from the 40's or 50's, I remember hearing my dad sing it once or twice. |

in such a vast room I can only imagine your choice of decor (checking cupboards for supplies of apples, corn, breadcrumbs, and trail mix!!!) lol |

I ain't lookin' to block you up Shock or knock or lock you up, Analyze you, categorize you, Finalize you or advertise you. All I really want to do Is, baby, be friends with you. I don't want to straight-face you, Race or chase you, track or trace you, Or disgrace you or displace you, Or define you or confine you. All I really want to do Is, baby, be friends with you. Mr.Dylan your poem reminds me thanks |
