A bear runs over fieldsTo the stream, pawing out fish
-then to the campsites!
I pushed the kickstart,
I felt power through each atom
-wind going through hair.
After forty years
They finally released him
-an old man, but free.
I should make a choice.
Darn it! Now I can't decide
-I had to do that.

My favorite is the motorcycle! It takes me back to my early years; hopping on the back of my boyfriend's motorcycle and feeling the surge of excitement and the wind in my hair as we powered off! Ha! I would never do that now!

I liked the one about the motorcycle, too, But had to laugh at the last one.
Edward,
I enjoyed these thoughts on various forms of freedom. I wonder how the bear feels! Great stuff. Thanks.

Guess I'm partial to the motorcycle too, though I liked the prisoner released one too.
Love the differing viewpoints of freedom. I particularly like the freedom of the bear to choose where the next meal will come from.
What fun with the FREEDOM prompt!
Nicely done!

Each one is so free and wonderfully depicts it.
I hear freedom ringing in them all. But I'm with the bear for sure.
a most enjoyable flavor of freedom.. i liked them all.. the bear, the wind, the old man, and the choice to choose...
I like this take!
