Set them free

Stray ideas, phrases, sounds,
and sometimes
complete sentences
Pop into my mind
and start a riot
If not released
with immediate effect

like budgerigars
arguing inside their cage
like so many canines
straining at their leash
barking hoarse
like a caged lion
pacing round and round
gone crazy

the words stumble
around, dashing
and bruising themselves
inside the
cranial confines
looking for release

So ,
in the end
you
set them  free
pleased to see
them soar in the sky
race on the ground
or roar , unchecked
in the prairie
