Okay, so, follow the leader.
I'm just gonna do as the Bird does.
I'm just gonna write the lines
as they come out.
Scream and shout,
if I need to,
or not.
All I got's
what's inside me
that wants to come screeeeeeaming out

Damn, it's good to just write freely.
Just crap it all out on the page,
as if I had no viewers,
no audience to please,
not even
myself.
yes.
That most
harshest
critic of all. (who shall choose to ignore that phrasing. if possible. maybe.)
I'm not even gonna be sure I put all the right categories
in the "Categories" list,
to be sure I can compile them all later.
Blech!
Okay, now I'm getting self conscious,
since maybe someone will actually read this
after all.
Will I fall?
Will it make me stop writing out the crap?
But I need to say things where I know my voice will be heard!
And this site is better than those other sites,
'cause over there what I post can't be un-posted.
At least on AllPoetry I can delete this whenever I want to.
Thank God/dess!
Once the embarassment quotient gets too high
time to say "b'bye"
to all those embarassing,
tumbled out
words.
feelings.
maybe just words about feelings?
{cause, see now I'm feeling shy}
I don't want to admit anything now
about if what I'm writing is real.
{maybe part of why I like to post elsewhere
is because of the irrevocability of it.
If I am brave enough to hit "Post,"

just for that moment,

Absolutely adorable and so true, seemed you caught me in the act as well (somewhere between the barn and the house) screaming and pullin hair..LOL Loved it!

Hehehe. Thanks!

lol's I so enjoyed your write. I too let myself go too I think it is part of human nature. Never keep it all in. And as Karen said yeah someone may shun you for awhile but that will pass. Thanks for sharing your talents. And again welcome to the family, hugs Theresa

Thanks, Theresa. (Sorry, I didn't see you comment until just now.) I'm finding that the more serious I get with my writings (in form/style and in content), the more I need loose and light as a counter balance.
Thanks for the read, the comment, the encouragement, and the welcome.

haha lol's
I really got a laugh out of this one; and, I can so relate to it. Here at Allpoetry I have been able to release a lot more than I would in "real" life so to speak - AND, it is always revocable. Somehow, the consequences of letting yourself go here at Allpoetry aren't too, too harsh. A few people may shun one for a while; but that is about it.
p.s. it's always hard to be brave enough to make something permanent - to have it etched forever in marble, so to speak. One thing I have found here at Allpoetry, is an acceptance that I never really expected. Sure, I'm sure some people disapprove of me; but I feel at home here, until the day I go too far that is - like you say. I always worry about that and hesitate to push the post button sometimes. As you get to know me more, you will see why. I think most people just humor me here. lol's
thank you for sharing; and this was very clever and funny too!

Hi! You mean another person actually read this? And liked it?? Go figure...
Glad you got a laugh out of it.
Thanks for the words of encouragement and enlightenment about the AP community. Me, I WANT to stretch past my boundaries, test the limits of my wings, and exceed them... Sometimes I will faulter, but eh, who cares? (Me at times, I know. I've been getting over that more and more. FYI, I work with an inspiration about marketing my writing and visual art on the net. Maybe the rant/vent cleared the way?)

i love freewriting its more whats in the brain then the muse. most of this one was about your feeling about writing it and how you felt just not being held by a thought you had to do something with and thats what makes freewrites so fun i think im going to do a freewrite or rant contest or something or at least write one too i havent done that in a while and its very cathartic? is that the word like cleansing
-

Thanks. And yep, that's exactly the right word. This is the most chaotic a freewrite I've done. It was more like journaling than what I usually do as a freewrite (which feels like a poem as it's coming out). This was fun! And I plan to do it again!
Thanks for the read and the feedback.

Loved it, what a great rant and when you got to your last flying Free lines I laughed out loud. Stretch your wings and delete when you wish, it's good to shout it out!

Hehehe. The inner devil's coming out to play.
Reminds me a bit of a piece I posted irrevocably elsewhere. I summed it up with something like, "Forget Pandora's Box, the door to the Den has become unhinged!"
