BREAK OUT.

Fay Slimm.

 

 

 

Break Out

.

Keystone of conformity stays with the banal and
trite persuasion
thinks only in formal tight lines.
Break with the staid and
peel back blocked sight to let in unrestraint

and stretch credulity.

 

Breach convention and back-to-front insight will
violate custom,
peer squint-eyed with curiosity
as muse welcomes and revitalises 
used paths of the orthodox while broadening

methodical views 

 

Sail out of usual in oddity's sea then Sphyx-like,
greet life that's less ordinary.
Leave safe-shore solidity, take a sound
lateral look around
with mind-set's original backsidedness and feel

feet leaving the ground.

    A fine write Fay. I'm gonna fly then, feel me feet leaving the ground!

    Yes indeed... far too many folk are hampered & restrained by their fears and prejudices, by narrow minded tunnel visioned views and by their limited ability to think outside the box and sub-cultural norms that inevitably constrict and constrain any form of creativity, newness and change... We need to embrace the unknown, take more risks and learn to fly.....This is a fine poem Fay and a great mouthpiece and anthem for the unconventional........... Neville

      What a grand review on my forthright encouragement to reach for the unknown and I thank you muchly my friend - yes I entirely agree that we need to embrace creativity in all its forms. ........

          Excellent write, as always an excellent use of metaphor and word play
